		As much as Ulmanis set a major precedent in his role as President for six years, his successor will equally affect Latvia in how she holds up to the high examples Ulmanis set.
		Many claim that Ulmanis exceeded the spirit of the presidency's powers, but he can be seen to have established the president's office as an effective and active player on the political scene.
		However, the retirement of Guntis Ulmanis in early July 1999 will be a highly symbolic moment and bring about a psychological change for the nation.

		Born in 1939, Ulmanis is the great-nephew of the President Ulmanis who was deposed by the Russians in 1940, and who himself had been a leader of the move to Latvian independence during the First World War.
		Guntis Ulmanis made his way, nonetheless, through the Soviet educational and employment system, rising to become a senior manager in the state service sector.
		Ulmanis was in 1996 nominated as a presidential candidate by the Latvia Farmers' Union and the Latvia Christian Democratic Union, but these party political groupings, and all others, have been very fluid as the country has taken its recent steps towards western democratic structures.
