Jevgeni Ossinovski (born 15 March 1986) is the mayor of Tallinn and former leader of the Estonian Social Democratic Party.[2]
Ossinovski was voted as mayor in an especial meeting of the city council after the no confidence motion of his predecessor Mihhail Kõlvart. The four political parties that voted against Kõlvart, previously held coalition meetings for the last 2 weeks to make agreements. The mayor’s position to be given to the Social Democratic party was in that agreement.

In April 2018, Ossinovski announced that he would step down as minister in order to focus on the party ahead of the 2019 parliamentary election.[7] On 2 May 2018, his cabinet position was passed to Riina Sikkut.[8] After the Social Democratic Party suffered a loss in the election and was left in the opposition, Ossinovski announced that he would stand down as the leader of the party.[9]
