Kaja Kallas

Country: Estonia

In 2024, Kaja Kallas stands as the Prime Minister of Estonia, leading the Reform Party. Her tenure, marked by historic moments, includes being the first female prime minister in Estonia's history. PM Kaja has demonstrated resilience during challenging times, notably navigating the 2021–2023 global energy crisis and the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis. Her commitment to Estonia's role in international affairs was evident as she pledged support to Ukraine during the Russian invasion, earning her praise and making her Estonia's most popular politician.

 Despite facing a scandal involving her husband's business dealings in Russia, PM Kaja retained her position. In the 2023 parliamentary election, she secured a decisive victory, forming a coalition government and initiating progressive changes, such as legalizing same-sex marriage and adoption. She remains a prominent figure in European politics and a potential candidate for the NATO Secretary-General position.
