Usjkov already has a large sphere of influence and immense popularity within the party, so his victory was not widely regarded as surprising.
Julia Viktorov (the current mayor of the city of Pärnu) came second.
Viktorov was almost unknown outside of Pärnu until she ran for leader of the Utega Party.
Her rapid rise in popularity within her party was not expected by many.
One Sjevrean newspaper went as far as to call her the "moral winner" and the "real winner" of the race - they noted that even though she technically lost, she was now being seriously considered for a role in the new administration's cabinet, which would have been unthinkable for her just a few weeks ago.
Another candidate who did well was current Deputy Prime Minister Johan Adomaitis.
Adomaitis and Viktorov are currently being considered for the roles of Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary - it is not currently known which one will fill which role, however.
