He has also served as a Minister of the Interior, Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications. From 2001 to 2004 and from April 2007 until November 2017, he was a mayor of Tallinn.

Loodame et Ehatarel on vaba tubasid olemas. Arvan et sul on aeg hoolde all minna. Sinu mõtted nii segased, nii mõttetu. Loodame et sa rooli taga enam ei ole. Soovitan et lähed teed väikse uinaku.
