Taking into account that both the deputy chairperson of the council Ilze Vītola (LZS) and the former chairman of the Ozolnieku County Council Andris Ozoliņš (LZP) received identical support in the first round, voting was held for both candidates in the second round as well.
In it, six votes were cast for Vitola, and eight for Ozoliņa.
Therefore, the chairman of the council was not elected, so a third round of voting took place, in which voting was only for Ozoliņš’s candidacy. However, he again won the support of only eight colleagues, while 11 were against.
Considering the results of the third round, the council chairman was not elected on Monday.
It has already been reported that this was the second attempt to elect a new chairman of the county council.
The Jelgava County Council has been working without a council chairman for more than four months after Madars Lasmanis (LA) resigned from his position on April 3, while on July 10 the council chairman failed to be elected.
Lasmanis announced his resignation on April 3, about an hour before the meeting of the Jelgava County Council, which was supposed to consider the request of seven deputies to remove him from his post in connection with a controversial video, in which Lasmanis was seen remotely conducting the meeting of the Council’s Budget Commission from his car. turns to a woman’s feet.
