Following the Latvian parliamentary elections, the Union of Greens and Farmers (ZZS) failed to secure seats in the 15th Saeima. Final results confirmed the party’s exclusion from parliament, with ZZS receiving 4.401 percent of the vote. This outcome raised concerns regarding the loss of regional representation and was attributed by critics to a loss of political identity.

In the aftermath, Economy Minister Viktors Valainis announced his intention to remain in politics. Speaking on the TV3 program ‘900 sekundes’, Valainis stated that leaving at this moment would not be a ‘responsible action’ and expressed a commitment to representing the more than 30,000 voters who supported the ZZS. He indicated he intends to continue his duties as Economy Minister until a new government is confirmed.

Additionally, the Latvian Farmers' Union (LZS) has begun preparations for a congress, scheduled for late January or early February. This process, which includes regional conferences and branch meetings, is expected to result in new leadership for both the LZS and ZZS.
