Half the votes counted: United List leads, Estonia First rises to second, SV/AJ moves to third
With about half the votes counted in Estonia's election, the United List holds a clear lead with 36.6% support, while Estonia First and the Sovereign Power/New Latvians Union have improved their standing.
According to data published by Estonia's National Electoral Committee, the United List (AS) is clearly leading the election after roughly 50% of ballots have been counted, with 36.6% of the vote.
Shifts in the ranking
The party "Estonia First" (LPV) has moved into second place, performing better than earlier figures suggested. Meanwhile, the alliance "Sovereign Power/Union of New Latvians" (SV/AJ) has climbed to third place in the overall standings.
The National Electoral Committee continues to process ballots, and final results will only be known once all submitted votes have been counted. The currently available figures reflect trends that could still shift as the remaining ballots are tallied.
Preliminary results show the United List maintaining a solid lead over its competitors, though the gap between the parties in second and third place remains notably narrow, leaving room for further changes in the standings as vote counting continues.
