The chairman of the Center Party, Mihhail Kõlvart, said that the party received 37 mandates in Tallinn. He said that this result was not exactly what the party had hoped for.
Kõlvart said that in Estonia overall, the result was good. He talked about how it was important for the party to use its resources.
Kõlvart did not yet say whether the Center Party would make a coalition proposal. He said that he still needed to discuss it with his party colleagues.
Kõlvart suggested that the Reform Party might need help in the Riigikogu. He said that the Center Party does not want to help the Reform Party.
Kõlvart gave a victory speech at the party's election celebration. He said that the party did well, even though the last two years had been difficult.
He thanked his party colleagues. He said that the results of their work show that hard work pays off.
Kõlvart compared the party to athletes. He said that an athlete may lose the first rounds but wins the final round. He said that the Center Party won in the same way.
Kõlvart did not yet say with whom the Center Party would form a coalition. He said that it could also be an anti-Center Party coalition.
