The Unified List (AS) of Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs has won the parliamentary election. With most of the votes counted, it received 35.44 percent. The Latvian Central Election Commission announced the results on Sunday, 4 October. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
According to the results so far, the centre-right, pro-European grouping has significantly outpaced the other political parties. Kulbergs may remain prime minister after the election. The vote took place in Riga and in other parts of Latvia, at a time of heightened concerns about national security. ORF ↗
The election campaign was shaped by fears of possible Russian aggression and hybrid threats. At the same time, voters addressed the country's social and political problems. The result was also seen as an expression of support for the continued backing of Ukraine and for Latvia's foreign policy direction. Spiegel.de ↗
The government had changed in the country only in May, following incidents involving drones. The parliamentary election was therefore held less than six months after that change. Despite the clear victory of the governing coalition, populist parties also gained strength. Tagesspiegel ↗
The final allocation of seats will depend on the complete counting of votes and the official confirmation of the results. Kulbergs will then have to negotiate the future functioning of the government and support for its programme in parliament.
Kulbergs's party clearly wins Latvian election
