Jüri Ratas leaves Center Party to join Isamaa
29.01.2024, Tallinn.
Deputy Riigikogu Speaker Jüri Ratas announced leaving the Center Party, citing values differences with its leadership. He had been in the party for nearly quarter of a century, joining in 2000. He will join opposition party Isamaa. Ratas, who was himself Center leader until last September and is a former prime minister, made the announcement on Monday, ending speculation about his political future after a wave of departures from the party. This leaves the Center Party with six Riigikogu seats whereas a year ago it had over 20.
