The competition for the future LSM board members had 78 candidates and was held in three rounds. The SEPLP selected the board of the single public service broadcaster on October 30. The nominated candidates met with public service media staff and trade unions before being confirmed in office.
During the meetings with Latvian Television staff, Ivars Šulcs, initially nominated as the Board's technology member, was caught in the crossfire. After this meeting, he decided to withdraw his candidacy. In his place, SEPLP nominated Ingemārs Vekteris, Executive Director of the Latvian Broadcasting Association.
