		Tarand was not given much chance of winning the presidency but was nominated as a potential compromise candidate if the electoral college became deadlocked.
		In each of the three rounds of voting, only three of the main candidates, Kreitzberg, Tarand, and Tulviste, were put forward, since RP and PU preferred to hold back their candidates (Savi and Ruutel) until the electoral college.
		For the next round, Tarand was replaced by Tulviste, but again the result was nearly identical, 36-35.

		Outgoing Prime Minister Tarand stated that the main objective of his Government was to reduce the people's alienation from state power.
		From a human perspective, I would say that cooperation with outgoing Prime Minister Andres Tarand has been pleasant on a personal level, and educational from a legal point of view.
