^ A: Pundits and experts note that the party has a conservative mainly Russian-speaking wing and a liberal mainly Estonian-speaking wing, heavily highlighted amidst the 2023 leadership election between Mihhail Kõlvart and Tanel Kiik.[2][3][4][5]

The Estonian Centre Party (Estonian: Eesti Keskerakond, EK) is a left-centrist political party in Estonia.[6] It was founded in 1991 as a direct successor of the Popular Front of Estonia, and it is currently led by Mihhail Kõlvart.[7]

Headquarters of the Estonian Centre Party in Tallinn.

The party was founded on 12 October 1991 from the basis of the Popular Front of Estonia after several parties split from it. At that time, the party was called the People's Centre Party (Rahvakeskerakond) to differentiate from the smaller centre-right Rural Centre Party (Maa-Keskerakond). It is a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) and Renew Europe. From 3 June 2022, the party has been in opposition to the second and third Kallas government.
