The most expensive was the Reform Party's election campaign. Reform Party Secretary General Martin Kukk forecast in November last year that the campaign expenses would be around EUR 1.2 million. Now, Kukk told Public Broadcasting that although not all campaign bills have been received, the cost of the campaign, together with the preliminary campaign conducted last year and personal spending of candidates was 1.8 to 1.9 million euros.

Data submitted to the committee of supervision of funding of political parties showed that the Reform Party candidates spent 30,000 euros on their personal campaigns. Centre Party candidates spent nearly 200,000 on personal campaigns. In the near term, other parties should also submit the corresponding reports.

When in November, before the start of the big campaign, IRL's Secretary General Tiit Riisalo said that costs are likely to be around 900,000 euros, now he says that the sum does not exceed 1.5 million euros.

SDP predicted election expenses to be at least half a million euros. SDP's communication specialist Raigo Jahu said that the Social Democratic Party advertising costs were nearly 790,000 euros.

The Centre Party had estimated the cost to remain below one million euro and Secretary-General of the party Priit Toobal confirmed that this is the case.

Free Party spokesman Ülo Mattheus said that the Free Party campaign costs were approximately 100,000 euros.

Estonian Conservative People's Party (EKRE) Vice Chairman Martin Helme said that their party's campaign costs were around 115,000 euros.

The parties promise to submit more accurate data by 10 April.
