On October 12, 2024, the political party 'Latvija pirmajā vietā' (LPV) held its congress where Ainars Šlesers was unanimously re-elected as the party chairman and nominated as the top candidate for Riga City Council in the upcoming municipal elections scheduled for June 7, 2025. Šlesers is also the party's candidate for the mayoral position of Riga. At the congress, Šlesers promised significant investments and support for entrepreneurs in Riga. The party is striving to fill the political space left by "Saskaņa" and appeal to Russian-speaking Latvian citizens, with parts of the speech delivered in Russian to emphasize unity among all citizens. LPV will collaborate with "Kopā Latvijai," led by Aleksandrs Bartaševičs, in several municipalities, including Riga, with candidates Andrejs Klementjevs and Vitālijs Orlovs on the Riga list. Both Šlesers and Klementjevs indicated ambitions for national politics beyond local government.
