The Riigikogu Council of Elders is scheduled to discuss the presidential election in early August, with Speaker Lauri Hussar expressing optimism for a new head of state to be elected by early September.

Lauri Hussar of Eesti 200 has been re-elected as the President of the Riigikogu, Estonia's parliament, securing 52 votes in favor.

Speaker of the Riigikogu Lauri Hussar stated on Independence Day that Estonia's birth was rooted in the courage to exercise self-determination, emphasizing that freedom should never be taken for granted and Europe must free itself from fear of the future.

Riigikogu Speaker Lauri Hussar stated he is considering convening the Riigikogu Council of Elders in August, while the second deputy speaker, Toomas Kivimägi, also believes there is no need to rush the next steps in the search for a presidential candidate.

Riigikogu President Lauri Hussar assured Members of Parliament that the Riigikogu Board had no role in the disciplinary proceedings that resulted in an official's dismissal.

Estonian President Alar Karis met with Riigikogu speaker Lauri Hussar, but remains undecided on whether he will seek a second term.

Estonia's opposition Social Democrats (SDE) plan to test the ruling coalition by running their MP Riina Sikkut against incumbent Lauri Hussar (Eesti 200) in the upcoming Board of the Riigikogu speaker election.
