ESTONIA - The ruling coalition won the legislative

After counting nearly all the votes, the Reform Party (liberal) Prime Minister Andrus Ansip wins 33 of 101 seats in the new Parliament in parliamentary elections of 6 March. It retains the majority by maintaining its alliance with Union Pro Patria and Res Publica (right), which won 23 seats. The opposition gets 45 seats: 26 for the Centre Party and 19 for the Social Democrats.
