拉脱维亚议会选举：总理库尔贝格斯的联合名单历史性大胜，拿下41席
据路透社与法国《世界报》报道，拉脱维亚于当地时间10月3日（星期六）举行议会（Saeima）选举，首都里加等全国投票站当天开放。计票结果显示，现任总理安德里斯·库尔贝格斯（Andris Kulbergs）领导的中右翼政党「联合名单」（United List）以约35.8%的得票率赢得100个议席中的41席，创下该国1991年恢复独立以来单一政党的最佳成绩。
据拉脱维亚中央选举委员会公布的数据，本次选举共计约80.7万张选票，投票率约51.8%。「拉脱维亚优先」（Latvia First）以约13.3%得票、17席居次席，「主权力量—青年拉脱维亚人联盟」获约11.9%、15席，民族联盟与进步党各得10席，新统一党得7席，共有六个政党跨过5%门槛进入议会。
库尔贝格斯于今年5月才出任总理，竞选主打继续支持乌克兰、加强国防、削减官僚程序与提振经济。据《世界报》报道，他在选举夜表示结果高于预期，并称不会与被其指为对国家安全构成威胁的政党结盟。由于联合名单距离过半数的51席尚差10席，库尔贝格斯仍需与一至两个政党谈判组建联合政府；外界预计他将先与民族联盟、新统一党等既有伙伴磋商。
分析指出，尽管亲俄立场的政党席位有所增加，但仍被排除在执政谈判之外，拉脱维亚亲欧洲、亲乌克兰的路线预计将延续。新一届议会定于11月3日集会，总统埃德加斯·林克维奇斯（Edgars Rinkevics）将提名总理人选组阁。

Latvia Parliamentary Election: PM Kulbergs' United List Wins Historic Victory With 41 Seats
According to Reuters and France's Le Monde, Latvia held elections to its parliament, the Saeima, on Saturday, October 3, with polling stations open nationwide including in the capital, Riga. Results showed the centre-right United List, led by incumbent Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, winning about 35.8 percent of the vote and 41 of the 100 seats — the best result ever achieved by a single party since the Baltic state restored independence in 1991.
Figures released by Latvia's Central Electoral Commission put total ballots at about 806,641, for a turnout of roughly 51.8 percent. Latvia First finished second with about 13.3 percent and 17 seats, followed by the Sovereign Power–Alliance of Young Latvians with about 11.9 percent and 15 seats. The National Alliance and the Progressives won 10 seats each and New Unity seven, with six lists in total clearing the 5 percent threshold.
Kulbergs, who became prime minister only in May, campaigned on continued support for Ukraine, stronger defence preparedness, cutting red tape and reviving economic growth. Le Monde reported that on election night he called the result higher than expected and ruled out alliances with parties he described as a threat to state security. With United List 10 seats short of the 51 needed for a majority, he must negotiate with one or two partners, and talks are expected to start with existing partners such as the National Alliance and New Unity.
Analysts noted that although pro-Russian parties increased their representation, they remain sidelined from government talks, and Latvia's pro-European, pro-Ukrainian course is expected to continue. The new parliament is scheduled to meet on November 3, and President Edgars Rinkevics will nominate a candidate to form the government.
