LSM outlines provisional makeup of Latvia’s 15th Saeima

Six political groups are projected to win seats in Latvia’s 15th Saeima, according to a provisional tally published by public media portal LSM. The distribution could still change slightly as counting continues.

The United List is projected to win 41 seats, Latvia First 17 and Sovereign Power/Association of Young Latvians 15. The National Alliance and The Progressives are each projected to take 10 seats, while New Unity is set to win seven.

Vote counting has been completed at all polling stations in Latvia. However, the counting of votes marked for and against individual candidates remains unfinished at a small number of stations, so the names of those elected and the figures for all stations may still change slightly.

LSM said its list of projected candidates represents a preliminary composition of the 100-member parliament.
