Dagmara Beitnere-Le Galla (New Conservative Party) and Inese
Libina-Egnere (New Unity) were
elected Saeima vice-speakers.
Gundars Daudze (Greens/Farmers)
and Artuss Kaimins (KPV LV) also ran for the Saeima
vice-speaker posts but failed to win sufficient support.
Andrejs Klementjevs (Harmony)
was re-elected Saeima secretary and Marija
Golubeva (For Development/For)
was elected his deputy.
Three of
the five members of the 12th Saeima Presidium – Murniece, Libina-Egnere and
Klementjevs – are thus keeping their parliamentary posts also in the 13th
Saeima.
There was
no clarity about the makeup of the Presidium until the beginning of the first
sitting of the 13th Saeima as politicians still have not reached an agreement
on the makeup of the new coalition and government.
