The opposition is represented by Kaja Kallas, Hanno Pevkur, Taavi Rõivas (Reform Party) and Lauri Läänemets (deputy chairman, Social Democrats).
Andrei Korobeinik (Center) used to be a member but when the former Minister of Education and Research Mailis Reps resigned and went back to the Riigikogu, he had to leave the parliament.
