Overview
- Official results show Liste unie won a plurality with 35.3% of the vote and 42 of 100 seats after Saturday's election.
- Two populist forces, Lettonie d'abord (LPV) and Pouvoir souverain (Suverena vara), finished with double‑digit shares and could be pivotal in coalition negotiations.
- Voter turnout was low at about 51.8% with more than 1.5 million people registered to vote, according to the Central Election Commission.
- Security issues shaped the campaign as Latvia keeps defence spending near 5% of GDP and most parties back continued support for Ukraine.
- A shifting Russian‑speaking electorate is increasingly voting on economic and social concerns, a change that helped populist parties and will complicate coalition building.
