The political party “We Change the Rules” has officially submitted its candidate lists for the upcoming Saeima elections, scheduled for this autumn. The party has nominated Alvis Hermanis, the renowned theater director and artistic director of the New Riga Theatre, as its candidate for the position of Prime Minister.

The candidate lists feature several individuals previously associated with other political forces. Among them are former members of the KPV LV party, as well as a former deputy from the Harmony (“Saskaņa”) faction. This suggests an effort by the party to unite representatives from different political backgrounds.

“We Change the Rules” is a relatively new political entity formed ahead of the elections. Its platform aims to offer an alternative to the current political system. Hermanis, as a well-known cultural figure, may attract voters seeking fresh perspectives. The election campaign is just beginning, and the party’s chances of entering the Saeima will depend on public support.
