Latvia's Pro-Ukraine Coalition Leads Parliamentary Election Amid Security Concerns

Latvia's Pro-Ukraine Coalition Leads Parliamentary Election Amid Security ConcernsPreviousNext

Latvia held parliamentary elections amid security concerns linked to stray military drones and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs' centrist United List coalition, which supports Ukraine and increased defense spending, won about 35% of the vote, securing 42 seats. Pro-Russian parties, including Sovereign Power, opposed aid to Ukraine and focused on domestic issues like the cost of living. Voter turnout exceeded 51%, and coalition talks are expected to form a government in a fragmented parliament.
