The branch general assembly confirmed Henri Arras as the branch's new chair after he received 76 percent of the vote in an internal election.

Arras is the chair of the Reform Party group on Tallinn City Council and was previously deputy chair of the Tallinn branch. He takes over the leadership of the branch from Maris Lauri.

"We in the Tallinn Reform Party have reason to be positively dissatisfied. Because dissatisfaction is a force. We want to implement our policies, which put the family first and whose task is to create an environment where every person has the best possible conditions to exercise their freedom and creativity. We must boldly stand up for what we ourselves believe in and what our voters believe in," said Arras, the new head of the Reform Party's Tallinn branch.

Lauri said the Tallinn organization is handing over leadership responsibility in an improved state compared with a year ago and that the new chair has a strong team with which to move forward.

"When a team is guided by shared values, it is in every way easier to achieve political goals and represent the will of voters," she said.
