Aivo Peterson wants to join elections in Tallinn. His party Koos wants good results in Ida-Virumaa.
Peterson’s court case is in September. Even if he is guilty, he can still join the elections. Everyone can join elections if they are not yet found guilty.
Peterson’s lawyer says the case can take longer. Peterson has many supporters in Tallinn, especially in Lasnamäe.
Peterson needs many votes to win. If he goes to jail, he may lose his place. Another party member will take his place.
In Ida-Virumaa, Koos wants good results in Kohtla-Järve and Narva. The party also supports areas like Maardu, Tartu, and Pärnu. Kohtla-Järve has many problems to fix.
Koos has no candidate for Narva mayor. This is their first election there. The party wants good results but does not want to make popular decisions. Ida-Virumaa voters may support Koos if they like Peterson.
