The former state official of Estonia, Kersti Kaljulaid, was elected as president of the country, Estonian World reported.

It was specified that 81 MPs out of 101 cast their votes in her support. Kaljulaid will serve as the first female president of Estonia.

Kaljulaid, a former member of the European Court of Auditors, was a non-partisan candidate to run for president. She was proposed as the only candidate after several failed rounds in the Estonian presidential elections. After the vote, 17 ballots were blank, and three deputies did not appear in the courtroom.
