For Latvia and Ventspils (Latvian: Latvijai un Ventspilij) is a small political party in Latvia. It is mostly known because of its chairman Aivars Lembergs who has been mayor of Ventspils since 1988.[1] In 2006 the party signed an agreement with the Union of Greens and Farmers allowing members of For Latvia and Ventspils to be elected in the Saeima, including the former speaker of the parliament Gundars Daudze,[2] and current members Dana Reizniece-Ozola and Jānis Vucāns. Since then, Lembergs has been named as a candidate for the position of the prime minister many times.[3]
