In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Latvia election campaign is based on security issues; export poll shows that the center-right new Unity Party to which Latvian Prime Minister Kalins belongs will win today's national election.
AFP reported that once the "New Solidarity Party" is determined to win, it means that Latvia will continue to play the main voice in confronting Russia with its neighbors Lithuania and Estonia .
exit polls show that Carlins' new Unity Party ranked first with 22.5%. The Harmony, a social democrat party that has won votes in recent years, may not be able to pass the threshold for entering the parliament.
Reuters reported that 57-year-old Kalins is the first prime minister in Latvia to have a four-year term. He has dual nationality between the United States and Latvia. He benefited from policies to Moscow, including restricting the entry of Russian citizens from Russia and Belarus.
Export Polls also showed that the "joint list" composed of the Green Party and regional political parties ranked second with 11.5% of the votes, followed by 10.9% of the "Green Farmers Alliance" and 8.4% of the "National Alliance".
In addition, according to export polls, there is only one minority party that represents Russian-speaking "stability!" (Stability!), which is expected to pass the threshold for entering the parliament with a vote of 5.4%.
For many voters, national security and support for Ukraine have become the main issues of this election. At the same time, Latvia, located on the east side of EU and NATO and has a population of 1.8 million, also urgently needs national stability.
