Latvia Holds Parliamentary Elections Amid Security Concerns and Ukraine Conflict

Analysed 3 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·Ukraine·Politics
Latvia Holds Parliamentary Elections Amid Security Concerns and Ukraine ConflictPreviousNext

Latvia held parliamentary elections with Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs seeking a full term amid concerns over Russian hybrid threats, including drone incursions and cyberattacks. The election follows a coalition collapse earlier this year linked to drone incidents. Latvia, bordering Russia and Belarus, strongly supports Ukraine in its conflict with Moscow. Security issues, cost of living, and economic concerns shaped the campaign. NATO reinforced Latvian airspace during voting, and no significant foreign election interference was detected. A multiparty coalition is expected to form the new government.
