Latvia's pro-Ukraine PM party wins by wide margin in parliamentary election, but coalition partners face losses
Source Summary
Exit polls from Latvia's Saturday parliamentary election show Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs' pro-Ukraine and pro-Europe party winning by an unexpectedly large margin. However, projected results for other coalition parties suggest Kulbergs will need to form a new ruling coalition despite his party's strong performance.
Why it matters
The result reflects voter support for Latvia's pro-Western and pro-Ukraine stance while signaling potential instability in the governing coalition that has backed Ukraine.
What remains uncertain
The final composition of the new ruling coalition remains uncertain pending official results and coalition negotiations.
