Estonia’s Parliament on Wednesday gave the green light to a new coalition to form a government, led by the center-right Reform Party of Kaja Kallas.
Her pro-business party overwhelmingly won the parliamentary election in the Baltic country on March 5 with 31.2% of the vote – receiving nearly twice as many votes as its closest rival, the far-right populist EKRE party, which will not be part of the government.
Lawmakers in the 101-seat Riigikogu legislature voted 59-38 to accept the proposed three-party Cabinet, which includes the Reform Party, the centrist Estonia 200 party and the Social Democratic Party.
