Latvian political landscape and Apvienotais saraksts

Overview

The political alliance ‘Apvienotais saraksts’ (AS) has faced scrutiny from the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) regarding its activities in the Kurzeme region. The investigation focuses on whether Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs misused administrative resources or violated the Pre-election Campaigning Law during regional visits to municipalities and businesses. Kulbergs has maintained that his activities were official regional duties rather than part of an election campaign.

Following these developments, polling data indicates that ‘Apvienotais saraksts’, led by Kulberga, holds a significant lead in anticipation of the 15th Saeima elections. With 15.6% voter support, the alliance leads its nearest competitor, ‘Latvija pirmajā vietā’, by nearly double. While several political forces appear capable of meeting the 5% parliamentary threshold, a significant portion of the electorate remains undecided.
