Kulbergs pledges to put state interests above his own after election success
United List's prime ministerial candidate Andris Kulbergs has thanked voters for the party's best-ever result in the 15th Saeima elections and promised to prioritize state interests over personal ones.
The "United List" (AS) party has achieved its best-ever result in a parliamentary election, with the outcome from the 15th Saeima vote surpassing all previous election results for the party. Following this success, the party's candidate for Prime Minister, current head of government Andris Kulbergs, publicly thanked voters.
Statement posted on X
Kulbergs delivered his message in a video statement published on the platform X (formerly known as Twitter). In the video, he expressed gratitude to voters whose support had secured the party's strongest showing in its election history.
A promise on state interests
In his statement, Kulbergs pledged that going forward, state interests would be placed above personal ones. This promise came immediately after the announcement of the election results, in which AS received unprecedented support from voters.
At the time of the election, Kulbergs was serving as Prime Minister, and AS has also put him forward as its candidate for the same post in the next government. The party's record result in the 15th Saeima elections points to growing voter support compared to the party's previous participation in parliamentary elections.
The statement was shared in a publicly accessible format on social media, reflecting the party's intent to communicate directly and quickly with its electorate after the vote concluded. No specific vote figures or details about upcoming coalition negotiations were mentioned in the statement — Kulbergs focused primarily on expressing thanks and committing to govern guided by state interests rather than personal ones.
