On June 25, 2025, an administrative court in Latvia dismissed the lawsuit filed by the party ‘Latvija pirmajā vietā’ (LPV) seeking to overturn municipal election results in Riga. The Central Election Commission (CEC) had declared Riga election results final days earlier. LPV contested these results citing alleged irregularities but the court found insufficient grounds to change the outcome. The decision was made in a formal hearing held in Riga. This legal challenge could have impacted municipal governance but was ultimately rejected, affirming the standing election outcomes.
