According to the preliminary results, a total of seven parties will have representatives in the Riga City Council. AP / P will receive 18 seats, the Santarvė Social Democrats, who seek to represent the country’s Russian speakers, will have 12 and the center-right Naujoji Vienybė will have 10.

The elections took place from August 26 to 29. More than 600 unsealed envelopes and ballots in them were declared invalid, said Juris Kokinas, chairman of the Riga Election Commission.

Following the approval by the Commission of the electoral protocol on Sunday morning, there was a debate on the validity of the voting envelopes without the stamp of the voting station. There is concern that these errors could lead to an appeal against the election results.

Appeals against the elections can be filed until Wednesday, said Kristynė Bėrzinia, chair of the Central Election Commission.
