Latvia's Kulbergs set to retain power after landslide win

Latvian PM Andris Kulbergs' centrist United List secured 35.3% of the vote, winning 42 of 100 seats — the biggest parliamentary election victory since Latvia's independence in 1991. Kulbergs ruled out coalition with pro-Russian Latvia First party. The election was dominated by rising living costs and national security concerns amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
