In Narva, the Plan B and Centre Party factions moved to consolidate their narrow majority on Monday, June 1, by organizing an independent city council session aimed at formalizing a transfer of political power in Estonia's easternmost major city.

The two factions together hold a majority of just one vote in the Narva City Council, making the outcome of the session closely watched. The meeting began at 16:00 local time and was streamed live on the Rus.ERR portal for viewers following developments in the city.

Narva has long been a focal point of political tension in Estonia, given its predominantly Russian-speaking population and its strategic location on the border with Russia. Changes in city leadership there carry significance beyond local governance, attracting national-level attention from Tallinn.
