 The Raw Story | Estonian PM's party does best in vote, could dump coalition partner
Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip said Sunday he could revamp the ruling coalition after his Reform Party narrowly beat its partner in the outgoing government, the Centre Party, in a parliamentary election.
Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves has said he will give the right to form the next government to the party leader who gains most seats, and Ansip said he would launch coalition-building talks "immediately".
The success of the main ruling parties was driven by the strong economy they have overseen: since the last elections, held in 2003 -- a year before Estonia joined the European Union -- the economy has surged ahead to become one of the strongest in the EU, growing by 11.5 percent last year.
