    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    RIGA, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins said on Monday that he and his government will resign later this week.

    “This Thursday I will submit the resignation of myself and this cabinet to the president,” Karins told a press conference.

    On Friday, Karins had said he hoped to reconfigure the government after the current coalition partners rejected his proposal for a cabinet reshuffle, local news agency BNS reported.

    Karins’ centre-right New Unity party plans to select its candidate for the post of prime minister on Wednesday, he said.

    It is ultimately up to President Edgars Rinkevics to give a mandate to a new potential prime minister to try to form a government.

    Any new coalition would also face a vote in parliament before it can take office.
