In an appearance on ERR's "Otse uudistemajast" on Wednesday, Center Party chairman Jüri Ratas said that the pre-election cockfight between the Reform Party and the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) has been agreed between them, but that voters can see through it. Ratas predicted that it will take just 23-26 mandates to win the Riigikogu elections next March, which Center is out to earn as well.
