Until Jüri Ratas (Center) declares his hand on this fall's presidential elections, predicting who out of any other potential candidates, including the current incumbent, Kersti Kaljulaid, makes little sense, senior ERR journalist Toomas Sildam writes.
Political parties generally put up their own candidates, but at some point some of them need to back another party's candidate in order to make progress. This is particularly the case with the two largest parties, Reform and Center, who are in coalition together, Sildam continues.
