On Saturday, July 4, the Union of Greens and Farmers (ZZS) officially submitted its candidate lists for the autumn Saeima elections. The lists are led by many well-known party politicians, including incumbent ministers and MPs, who are seen as the party's top candidates. However, several former politicians are also running, making a return to active politics.

Among the new candidates making their debut on the ZZS list is Henrik Danusevičs, president of the Latvian Merchants Association, who is well-known in business circles. Another newcomer is former Interior Minister Sandis Ģirģens, who previously represented the KPV LV party. Ģirģens has held a ministerial post before and is now seeking to re-enter the Saeima. These changes in the candidate list reflect ZZS's efforts to attract both experienced and fresh faces to strengthen its position in the upcoming elections.
