RIGA, March 22 (LETA) - MP Olegs Burovs, the Latvian Hotel and Restaurant Association's president Andris Kalnins and MP Andrejs Vilks will be the leading candidates running on the joint list of the Union of Greens and Farmers and Honor to Serve Riga (GKR) in this year's municipal election in Riga, the parties' representatives informed Saturday.

Besides Burovs, Kalnins and Vilks, the joint electoral list of Greens/Farmers/GKR also includes current members of the Riga City Council - Juris Radzevics, Dainis Turlais and Ainars Bastiks.

Stella Lapina, board chairperson of the National Rehabilitation Center Vaivari, GKR board members Andris Treimanis and Ausma Cimdina, as well as GKR secretary-general Ervins Straupe are also running for seats on the capital city's council.

The Greens/Farmers/GKR list includes 63 candidates in total.

As reported, GKR and Greens/Farmers announced their plan to join forces for the 2025 municipal elections already in 2023.

Unlike GKR, Greens/Farmers have failed to win representation on the Riga City Council in several consecutive elections.

Burovs believes that the joint electoral list might win around 10 percent of the vote in this year's election. Commenting on "red lines", Burovs ruled out cooperation with Stability, but said that talks with other political parties are possible.
