Krišjānis Kariņš resigns as prime minister. New Unity party nominates Evika Siliņa to be next prime minister. He became prime minister after the 2018 election following months of contentious negotiations, in which leaders of the larger parties were unable to form a coalition. Kariņš was nominated by President Raimonds Vējonis in January 2019 as a compromise candidate to form a government. He took office on 1/23/2019 at the head of a five-party coalition, and survived a 58–33 vote of no confidence on 4/11/2019.

General election. The center-right New Unity party of PM Krisjanis Karins wins the largest percentage of the vote, putting it on track to form a governing coalition. The coalition looks to win 42 of 100 seats, so it will need partners to govern. The opposition conservative Greens and Farmers Party wins about 13% of the vote for second place. Karins has been a strong critic of Putin and his war in Ukraine. There seems to be an increasing split between pro-Russian Latvians, who make up a substantial percentage of the population, and those who favor alliance with Europe.

Parties still unable to form a coalition to govern. The next attempt may be initiated by the New Unity Party (formerly the Unity Party), the smallest party in the parliament, led by party chairman Krišjānis Kariņš. Jānis Bordāns of the New Conservative Party and then Aldis Gobzems of KPV LV have so far failed to form a governing coalition. President Raimonds Vējonis has called for a new government to be formed soon.

Pro-Russian Harmony Party, led by Nils Usakovs wins the most seats in Latvian parliamentary election with 20% of the vote though it loses one seat in the legislature (the Saeima), falling to 23. However, Prime Minister Maris Kucinskis lost power, with his coalition Union of Greens and Farmers won only 9.9 percent of the vote, while the National Alliance took 11 percent and the Unity party 6.7 percent of the vote. If these three can add another party and bring their total seats to 51 or more, they could form a government.
