Three-quarters or more of voters of all parliamentary parties, except EKRE, support Alar Karis serving a second term as president, a new survey shows.

The presidential elections will be held in September and the candidate is elected by members of the parliament, not the public.

Although no official candidates have yet been nominated, the media has already speculated about several possible names.

In its latest survey, NGO Ühiskonnauuringute Instituut and Norstat studied which parties support Karis’ continuing in the role.
