Exit polls indicated support for Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs' centre-right United List party, which secured 35.6 percent of the vote in Latvia. The United List party, led by Kulbergs, reportedly leads the polling figures.
Speaking on the results, Kulbergs stated, "It's not the end still, but its higher than expected." Furthermore, Kulbergs added that the polling suggests "people truly want change."
The Latvia First party finished in second place with 11.3 percent of the vote. The Progressives secured third place with 11.1 percent of the vote.
Sovereign Power concluded in fourth place, gathering 10.8 percent of the vote. The Union of Greens and Farmers recorded a total of 3.7 percent.
Roberts Kits believes the Russian-speaking electorate's supported parties will see the largest rise in actual results compared to the exit polls. Sigita Struberga advised that predicting the shape of any future coalition remains premature.
Latvia remains a member of both NATO and the European Union, a status it achieved in 2004. The nation allocates nearly five percent of its Gross Domestic Product towards defence spending.
Preliminary, official election results are anticipated on Sunday.
