It is badumed that before the Saeima elections, the parties appoint their prime minister. The "green peasants" (ZZS), at the forefront of government, are launching with his former prime minister, Mari Kucinski. National Union – with Robert Zil, and the new formation of Unity with Krijjani Karina

The largest opposition party "Harmony" offers Vyacheslav Dombrovskii, "KPV LV" – Aldi Gobzem, "Development / About! " – Arthur Pabriks, new conservative party – John Bordan, "From the heart to Latvia" – Inguna Sudraba, Union of Latvian Regions – Edvard Smiltēns, Latvian Russian Union – Andrejs Mamikins

But what about President of the Republic? According to politicians, the current president, Raimond Wyon, is unlikely to be re-elected. Even his own former members of the Green Peasants Party no longer promise support for Vejonis. Others say "no" or "most likely – no".

Even before the Saeima elections to name his presidential candidate – it works well for society.

The director of the SKDS opinion and market research center Arnis Kaktins believes that it helps voters and at the same time is a useful tool. from the point of view of the party. A very large number of voters first look at the personalities of one or the other party, but the written texts – party programs or simply slogans and slogans – remain secondary

« People are primary. Says Kaktinys.

However, it would be helpful for voters to know not only who will be the most important, but also what are the best ways to achieve it. candidate for the relevant party to the post of President of the State.

Perhaps more importantly, will the party support the candid election of the president. To elect a president, two-thirds of the Saeima's votes are needed, which would mean a vote in camera, and that's what we've seen from the presidential election to the president, "said Iveta Kažoka , director of the Providus Center for Public Policy

.the elections, the parties decide on the elite agreement, not the previous promises, "said Kažokas. "Therefore, candidates without promises of open presidential elections are rather a public affair, trying to attract parties in addition to electoral votes, but without giving voters the guarantee that they will not be crushed before the presidential election. "

forces – ZZS and "No heart to Latvia". The rest concerns open elections. A signature of 10,000 citizens has been collected and the project is put on first reading.

With regard to the candidates for the presidency, many decisions have not yet been taken. And we do not know if they will become the Saeima elections.

But in negotiations with party leaders, the co-author of the Latvian declaration of independence and the judge of the Court of the European Union, Egils Levits, are most often appointed. Currently, the predictions of politicians suggest that Lewitt would be ready to support the national badociation as before. Levitas is "KPV LV" and maybe also "New Unity".

The name of the chairman of the Academy of Sciences, Ojārs Spārītis, was heard in the ranks of "green peasants". The new conservative party says that the doctor of sociological sciences and Dagmar Beatnere-Le Galla, a member of the municipal council of Jurmala, could suit the post. But in the Association of Latvian Regions, one of the alleged miners is Uldi Pīlēna, the director of the Institute of Architects, Businessmen and Integrated Education.

The "accordionists" had already been nominated by Baptist pastor Peteris Sprogi, who had initially accepted but then declined. "Harmony" is now taking a break and promises that they will certainly have their own candidate, but will not name them before the Saeima elections. But, while questioning the "Development / For", "From the heart to Latvia" and the leaders of the Russian Union, no candidate for the presidential candidate is yet to be conceived.
