Latvia’s 2026 parliamentary election is won by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs’ centre-right, pro-European party, which secures the largest share of votes and seats. Informed Clearly reports Kulbergs’ party receives 35.8% of the vote and 42 seats, placing it well ahead of the main opposition.
Both outlets describe the poll as being dominated by the geopolitical context, with RTE noting it is shaped by Russia-related concerns. Informed Clearly adds that the largest rival is Latvia First, which is described as pro-Russian, taking 13.3% of the vote and fewer seats. While RTE focuses more generally on Kulbergs’ victory as the leading pro-Europe outcome, Informed Clearly provides detailed figures on vote shares and seat counts, highlighting the size of the margin over Latvia First.
