Party members also voted on whether or not to make changes to the party statutes, with 570 members for and 38 against changing them.

Seeder told ERR on Saturday morning that he hoped that the congress would provide a positive background against which to move forward and that everyone would vote with their head.

Siim-Valmar Kiisler, who was elected a deputy chairman, said that the people who came to the congress were strong and hardened and prepared to strongly represent IRL's worldview.

Kiisler considered it the duty of IRL's new chairman to clearly divide up areas of management and identify responsible parties. "Then formulate our short-term objectives," he continued. "If among them are any that need to be negotiated together with other parliamentary parties, then do that as well."

In the last nationwide party ratings poll commissioned by ERR and conducted by Turu-uuringute AS, support for IRL fell below the five-percent election threshold.
