The extended board of Pro Patria and Res Publica Union (IRL) on Saturday gave consent to the appointment of Ken-Marti Vaher as the new Secretary General of the party.
The board of IRL supported the proposal of party chairman Mart Laar to appoint Vaher, current chairman of the parliamentary legal affairs committee, as new head of the party administration.
Vaher has headed the legal affairs committee since 2007 and will stay in this post also after assuming his new duties as Secretary General of the party.
Ken-Marti Vaher held the position of Secretary General also in the former Res Publica party about ten years ago. In 2003-2005 Vaher was a minister of justice in Juhan Parts' government and then returned to parliament as an MP.
The current Secretary General Margus Tsahkna was appointed political secretary of IRL by the extended board.
