Voters in the Baltic nation of Latvia will cast ballots this Saturday to elect a new parliament in a contest shaped by high inflation and deteriorating relations with Moscow. Incumbent Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs' centre-right United List party leads current polling, though the government risks losing its majority because several centrist allies are hovering near the 5% threshold required to secure seats. The final results are due on Sunday.

The election takes place in the Baltic state with the largest Russian minority, where economic hardship in border cities such as Daugavpils has increased support for pro-Kremlin figures like Ainārs Šlesers. Despite domestic dissatisfaction and tensions with Russia, the outcome is not expected to shift the nation away from its pro-European and pro-Ukrainian foreign policy alignment.
