Conduct

The OSCE/ODIHR Limited Election Observation Mission found that "despite the ongoing naturalization process, the fact that a significant percentage of the adult population of Latvia does not enjoy voting rights represents a continuing democratic deficit". Its recommendations included:

allowing independent candidates to stand in elections;

giving consideration to granting “non-citizens” of Latvia the right to vote in municipal elections;

allowing instructional materials, voter information and other relevant documents to be produced in both Latvian and Russian;

clarifying applicability of the Party Financing Law to third-party activities in support of an electoral campaign or during the campaign period;

considering terminating candidacy restrictions based on lustration provisions prior to the next Saeima elections.^[3]

MP J. Boldāns, elected from TB/LNNK, was sentenced by Latgale Regional Court to imprisonment for election fraud. J. Boldāns has appealed.^[4]

A member of "Harmony centre" J. Klementjevs and three employees of his enterprise were fined for buying votes by Zemgale Regional Court.^[5]

The Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) found that The People's Party, LPP/LC, Harmony Centre, New Era and UGF had exceeded spending limits.^[6]

Aftermath

The governing coalition of the People's Party, the Union of Greens and Farmers, the New Era Party and Latvia's First Party/Latvian Way received strong support from the voters, with 69 of the 100 MPs. Although this coalition could have continued, a new governing coalition was formed by the People's Party, the Union of Greens and Farmers, Latvia's First Party/Latvian Way and For Fatherland and Freedom, ejecting the New Era Party from government.
