Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs’ party, the United List, appears to be on track to secure the largest share of the vote in the nation's recent parliamentary elections. According to exit polls released by the Latvian public broadcaster LTV, the party has garnered approximately 35.6 percent of the vote. If these figures are officially confirmed, the result would mark the strongest performance for any single party in a Latvian parliamentary election since the country regained its independence.

The election cycle has been characterized by a significant focus on national security, specifically regarding the ongoing geopolitical tensions with Russia. Analysts note that the shadow of Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy has been a central theme for voters, influencing the political discourse and the urgency of the coalition-building process. While the exit poll data provides a strong indicator of the current political landscape, the final composition of the government remains subject to upcoming coalition negotiations. The United List will need to secure partners to form a stable majority, a process that is expected to be shaped by the parties' varying stances on defense spending and regional stability in the Baltic region.
