Siret Kotka-Repinski will continue as vice-chairman and Andrei Korobeinik has been elected as second vice-chairman.
Kersti Sarapuu is also the chairman of the party's council. Siret Kotka-Repinski has been a member of both the previous two Riigikogus and is the leader of the centre party faction in Lääne-Viru County.

Former faction leader Kadri Simson filed a resignation statement with the Riigikogu on Thursday as she will now take up the post as Estonia's commissioner at the European Commission in Brussels.
