After the 2015 election , he held the executive office until April 9, 2015 and returned as a member of parliament when the new government was sworn in.

In the 2019 elections he was again able to win a seat in the Riigikogu . Since his party had to accept losses and no longer part of the government, Ossinovski initially took over the chairmanship again, but announced that he would no longer be available for the next election of the party chairman.
