Tallinn Mayor Jevgeni Ossinovski (SDE) may lose his position. If he is not trusted, the city council must elect a new mayor. If a new mayor is not elected, the city council may be dissolved.
The Reform Party has called an extraordinary session. The session will take place on July 8. The session will discuss the no-confidence motion against Ossinovski. At the same session, the city council must elect a new mayor or his deputy.
If a deputy mayor is elected, a new mayor must be elected within two months. If this is not done, the city council will be considered incapacitated. This means that the members of the city council will lose their positions. New people will take their place.
If the city council is dissolved, the Center Party members will gain more power. Currently, the Center Party has 31 seats in the city council. Previously, there were 38.
Ossinovski may also resign on his own. In that case, the city council must still elect a new mayor. Another possibility is that the Reform Party and Ossinovski reach an agreement. They may govern together until the elections.
The opposition may also find a new mayoral candidate. If the parties support him jointly, he may become mayor.
