    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins on Monday said he would resign later in the week, along with the rest of his government.

    Karins is reportedly hoping an election will help him reconfigure the government after current coalition partners rejected his proposed Cabinet reshuffle.

    For some time, the 58-year-old has been pushing to widen the coalition to include the Alliance of Farmers and Greens and the left-leaning Progressives.

    In a tweet, Karins said the two parties were blocking a planned work an welfare policy, as well as economic growth.

    Karins said his party planned to select its candidate for the post of prime minister next Wednesday.

    Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics would have to give a mandate for any potential prime minister to try to form a government.
