Programme: Šlesers announces bid to form government and hopes for a change of power in Riga.

Thank you, @ZelenskyyUa . It is important that we have strong governments across NATO’s and the EU’s Eastern Flank, especially in countries bordering the aggressor in the East. This is essential to safeguard our democratic values, strengthen our defence and security, and at the same time carry out the reforms needed to grow our economies. Defence industry cooperation is an area where we must continue building on the strong progress we have already made together with you and 🇺🇦. Support for Ukraine is—and will remain—a priority for Latvia 🇱🇻 and for 🇪🇺. By fighting back against Russia’s occupying forces, Ukraine is not only defending its own freedom and sovereignty—you are helping keep all of Europe safe. We stand with Ukraine. 🇱🇻🤝🇺🇦

Rinkevich will begin negotiations with the parties elected to the Saeima: first the election winners.

Andris Kulbergs currently has a unique opportunity to form a national and Latvian coalition. Its composition is obvious – AS, NA and JV. There is no need to delay. I hope Kulbergs' second government can be formed as quickly as the first – experience shows that it can be done if one wants @AndrisKulbergs

@kasparsskincs Why would they expel them just because there are all sorts of scaredy-cats and weaklings who are afraid of de-Russification?

Siliņa does not rule out stepping down from JV leadership, Krauze considers leaving politics after ZZS's election defeat.

More than 70,000 people voted for @VL_TBLNNK. First of all - thank you! It is a credit of trust, and it is repaid with deeds. With your choice, you have said that Latvia must be safe, strong and Latvian, and that is exactly what @VL_TBLNNK will work for in the coming years. I also congratulate @Apvienotais_ on a record-high achievement. A big victory means great responsibility. Election night ends quickly, but the country's security and prosperity must be built every day - I wish you success, colleagues!
