Four years ago, the Center Party triumphed in the local government council elections in Maardu. The Center Party gathered 66.9 percent of the votes. The electoral alliance Maardu Hääl received 11.2 percent of the votes. The Center Party took over the leadership of the city.

Vladimir Arhipov, who received votes from the Center Party, said that the party is nominating Aurika Sin-Kerra as the mayoral candidate. Arhipov emphasized that changes in the city must be gradual. Currently, a lot of money is being spent on renovating schools.

Vladimir Arhipov said: 'The main issue is people's livelihoods. Taxes and prices are rising. People need help. That's why we will try to increase pensioner support and other benefits, like medical support, next year. This is a big concern. People are looking for cheaper goods. We want to help them.'

Nikolai Degtjarenko, a representative of the electoral alliance Maardu Hääl, spoke about the problems. He said that the situation in schools is not good. The party wants to reduce kindergarten fees and improve playgrounds. Degtjarenko wants the townspeople to be more involved in running the city.

Degtjarenko said: 'When power is in one hand, it leads nowhere. The Center Party has complete control over the city council. In the end, there are many problems in the city.'

Degtjarenko believes that this time the Center Party will not gain a majority. He said: 'This time, the elections could bring other parties to the council, such as the Social Democrats, the Reform Party, Isamaa, and EKRE. Everyone will get at least one mandate. The participation of our electoral alliance will definitely grow.'

Degtjarenko said that the result depends on voter turnout. He said: 'In Maardu and Ida-Viru County, voter turnout is always lower than, for example, in Viimsi, Rae, and Jõelähtme. Therefore, everything depends on people's activity.'

The party Koos hopes to get a seat on the Maardu council. In Kohtla-Järve, the party hopes to get a third of the council seats. Julia Smoli, Maardu’s top candidate, recalled that Maardu supported them in the previous elections.

Smoli said: 'I remember that Maardu supported us last time. It’s very nice that people voted. We had 12 percent more votes in Maardu than, for example, in Lasnamäe.'

Smoli hopes that the party will get many mandates. She said: 'As many as possible. Who knows. I don’t know. God knows.'
