At the Tallinn City Council session, Madle Lippus was elected as second deputy chair. This was an important event.
City Council chairman Mihhail Kõlvart said it was good that the opposition reached an agreement. He rejoiced that they got their candidate elected.
Madle Lippus found this to be a good step. She said that although much time passed, the end result is good. She thanked everyone who supported her.
Lippus was the only opposition candidate. 42 members voted for her. Only one was against.
Before this, it was not possible to elect a second deputy chair. Votes were held in January and April, but participation was too low.
The deputy chair is elected by secret ballot. A candidate needs at least 40 votes to win.
