Among the political forces entering the 15th Saeima, the "United List" (AS) received the most support in Riga, while the "National Alliance" (NA) received the least, according to data from the Central Election Commission (CEC).
In the capital, votes from all 163 polling stations have already been counted, but the processing of personal "pluses" and cross-outs is still ongoing. The Riga electoral district allocates the most parliamentary seats — 38.
The "United List" receives 14 mandates in the Riga district. According to current results, the deputies may include Andris Kulbergs, Jānis Enzīns, Liga Mengelsone, Karina Mikelsone, Guntars Vitols, Liene Apine, Mārtiņš Brencis, Edgars Štelmahers, Jānis Urtaņs, Viesturs Vitovskis, Māris Ozoliņš, Agnese Kupāča, Valters Bolevičs, and Jānis Sterniņieks.
The most frequently crossed-out candidate from AS in Riga turned out to be Ingmars Lidaka. He started in third place on the list, but after accounting for personal marks, he dropped to the last position. Lidaka was crossed out by 8,819 voters, while 4,974 people gave him a "plus."
The "Sovereign Power/Young Latvians Union" (SV/AJ) preliminarily receives seven seats. Julia Stepanenko, Rudolf Bremanis, Lyubov Shvetsova, Julia Sokhina, Natalia Abola, Inna Djeri, and Arturs Klebahs may enter the Saeima.
"Latvia First" (LPV) receives six mandates. The candidates for parliamentary seats are Ainars Slesers, Regina Lochmele, Andrey Klementyev, Robert Zhemaytis, Maya Armanova, and Evgeniya Shafranek.
The "Progressives" have five mandates in Riga. According to preliminary results, the deputies may include Andris Shuvaevs, Mairita Luse, Antonina Nenashova, Mārtiņš Hiršs, and Selma Levrenče.
At the same time, the voters of the "Progressives" crossed out the former Minister of Transport Kaspars Briškens the most. He initially ranked fourth on the list but dropped to the last position after accounting for personal marks. Briškens received 1,348 "pluses," while 2,940 voters crossed him out.
"New Unity" (JV) and the National Alliance preliminarily receive three seats each in the Riga district.
From JV, Baiba Braže, Andrey Yudins, and Inese Libina-Egnere may enter the Saeima. From the National Alliance — Ilze Indrikson, Nauris Puntulis, and Ivars Abolins.
Overall, in the elections to the 15th Saeima, the "United List" convincingly leads. With the current distribution of votes, AS receives 42 seats in parliament, LPV — 17, SV/AJ — 15, National Alliance — 10, "Progressives" — nine, and "New Unity" — seven.
The Union of Greens and Farmers (ZZS), according to preliminary results, does not overcome the necessary five percent barrier to enter the Saeima.
The personal composition of deputies may still change, as the counting of "pluses" and cross-outs is not yet complete.
