- Andris Kulbergs was tapped on Saturday by President Edgars Rinkevics to try to form Latvia’s next government in Riga.
- The nomination came two days after Prime Minister Evika Silina resigned ahead of parliamentary elections scheduled for October.
- Rinkevics said Kulbergs, from the United List party, had his “full support and trust” as he begins coalition-building.
- The move is meant to stabilize Latvia’s government before voters head to the polls later this year.
