[5] On 7 June, the initiators announced that Henrik Raave would lead Eesti 200,[6] and the following day, the manifesto authors registered it as a nonprofit organisation.

Its founders were Raave, Taro, as well as Priit Alamäe, Kristiina Tõnnisson, Indrek Nuume and Kristina Kallas, who was elected council head.

[10] Despite initial optimism, in the 2019 parliamentary election the party managed to garner a mere 4.36% of the vote, falling short of the 5% threshold and therefore failing to get any seats in parliament.

In the 2021 municipal elections, the party garnered over 6% of the vote nationwide and significant representation in councils of major Estonian cities such as Tallinn, Tartu and Narva.

It advocates the inclusion of mental health lessons in school curricula, as well as reserving 1% of local budgets for investment projects chosen by residents.

Estonia 200 also calls for local government bodies to comprise a mixture of politicians, experts and representatives of interest groups.
