The Center Party congress is taking place at the Paide Music and Theater House. On Sunday, the party's chairman, board, and other important figures will be elected. The current chairman of the party, Mihhail Kõlvart, said that the party is successful.
Kõlvart recalled that many predicted the end of the Center Party. 'Our competitors, experts, and the media said so. But today we won the local elections. In Tallinn, the Center Party's power is back. We are in a coalition, but the power is ours,' said Kõlvart.
Kõlvart stated that the Center Party does not look for reasons to oppose. 'We unite people. This is our mission. A year ago, it was written that our end is near. But we are strong. Coalitions are possible because we are strong,' he said.
Mihhail Kõlvart wants to remain the party's chairman. There are 21 candidates for the board. About 500 people are expected to attend the congress.
