Latvian PM wins elections amid Ukraine conflict

Election results in Latvia have shown that the United List party, which is pro-Ukraine, secured 36.5% of the votes after 72% of the ballots were counted, giving it a significant lead and making a government coalition necessary. The populist Latvia First Party received 13% and is seeking support from the Russian minority, while the sovereign power party, which is pro-Russia, came in third with 10.5%. It is expected that Prime Minister Aindris Kulpbergs will remain in office, but he will need allies to form a coalition amid tensions due to the potential threat of Russian attacks on Europe.
