The Center Party reelected incumbent Jüri Ratas as party chairman at the 19th party congress held in Tartu on Saturday, defeating challenger and Tartu chapter chair Jaan Toots 470 votes to 201.
The last leader of the Estonian Communist Party, Vaino Väljas, has been nominated to receive a coat of arms from Tallinn City Government. Still resident in Tallinn, Väljas, 90, was party leader during the period leading up to Estonian independence, and was an important figure during that period.
Tallinn City Government has sponsored Väljas candidacy, along with close to 30 others, while the award must pass a council chamber vote. Center councilor Andres Kollist made the actual proposal, citing Väljas role in the restoration of independence, which became a reality on August 20 1991, including his adoption of the Estonian Sovereignty Declaration on November 16, 1988.
