The Kemeny's median is the well-known method to get a coordinated decision representing a group opinion. This ranking is the least different from experts' orderings of alternatives. If rankings are immersed in a metric space, the median should be an average ranking from the mathematical point of view. As a result, the correct median should be the center of the set of rankings as points in a metric space. In this case it should be the median denoted as the Kemeny's metric median. In this paper we propose also a new median denoted as the Kemeny's weighted median as another type of the metric one. A new procedure is developed for the linear combination of experts' rankings to build the weighted median.
