Estonia Election Results

Results of the Estonian elections - with some 99 per cent of the vote now counted - can be read here.

In many ways a close result - as Prime Minister Ansip’s margin of victory over his nearest rival, Edgar Savisaar (Centre Party), is quite a slim one. None the less, this result holds Savisaar at bay for the time being, and there is still a possibility that President Ilves may ask the IRL (Pro Patria/Res Public Alliance) to join the Reform Party in a coalition.

Postimees’s Russian-language election coverage is here.
