PoliticsLatvia votes in parliamentary election amid rising costs

Latvia held its 11th parliamentary election since independence on Saturday, with about 1.5 million people eligible to vote for 100 Saeima seats. Rising living costs and national security dominated the campaign. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has heightened security concerns, while four German Eurofighter jets were deployed to protect Latvian airspace during the vote.
