Latvia election: Pro-Ukraine PM Kulbergs set to retain power after historic victory for his United List party

Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs appeared set to remain in power on Sunday after his centrist United List secured 35.3% of the vote in the country's parliamentary election. The result gives United List 42 of 100 seats and puts Kulbergs in a strong position to form another pro-Ukraine coalition. With 97% of ballots counted, United List had secured the country's biggest parliamentary election victory since Latvia regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The party could secure a parliamentary majority with either the nationalist National Alliance or the liberal Progressives, political scientist Roberts Kits said.
