The opposition coalition formed last month in Tallinn's City Council was unable to muster the 33 votes needed to oust Tallinn Mayor Juri Mois and City Council Chairman Rein Voog. The no-confidence motions against Mois and Voog were supported by 24 and 23 deputies, respectively; there were no votes cast against because the ruling coalition of the Pro Patria, Reform Party, and Moderates and other deputies left the chamber before the vote.
Mois apparently gained the support of the Russian-speaking factions People's Choice and People's Trust by offering them two deputy mayor posts and two borough head positions.
