Vējonis and Vergina to run for Saeima from the 'United List'

The 'United List' (AS) alliance has submitted its candidate lists for the upcoming 15th Saeima elections to the Central Election Commission. The lists include several well-known politicians, such as former President and Latvian Basketball Association President Raimonds Vējonis, and Saeima deputy Ilze Vergina, who recently left the 'New Unity' party.

In Riga, the list is headed by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, followed by Ādaži municipality council member Karīna Miķelsone, MP Ingmārs Līdaka, and restaurateur Jānis Jenzis. In Vidzeme, the list is led by Justice Minister Edvards Smiltēns, with Vergina as the tenth candidate. In Latgale, the top spot goes to faction leader Juris Viļums, while Vējonis is second. In Kurzeme, Finance Minister Māris Kučinskis leads, and in Zemgale, Minister of Smart Administration Edgars Tavars is first.

According to Tavars, the AS priorities in the next Saeima will be economic growth, regional development, and social protection. The alliance hopes to attract voters with these goals and a broad range of candidates.
