The Riigikogu authorised Kaja Kallas to form a Government

Kallas made a report on the bases for forming a Government already on Tuesday but due to the end of the working hours there was no vote and the questions and answers continued at today’s sitting. Each member of the Riigikogu could ask up to two oral questions in total of the candidate for Prime Minister.

At the vote, 59 members of the Riigikogu supported the authorisation of the candidate for Prime Minister to form a Government and 38 were against. A majority vote was needed for the authorisation.

After the sitting, the members of the new Riigikogu continued to form parliamentary friendship groups and associations.
