With more than 99.9 percent of ballots counted according to state television, the pro-European ruling party secured 42 seats in the 100-seat parliament. This outcome maintains the Baltic state's pro-Ukraine and pro-European orientation amid regional security tensions, even as populist parties gained ground by drawing support from Russian-speaking voters. Prime Minister Kulbergs has vowed to cut spending and rebuild trust following the vote.
