Abstract
The aim of this research is to to research the most significant factors that influenced the Latvian parliament (14th Saeima) election results in 2022. The results of the 14th Saeima elections showed that ethnically non-Latvian citizens of the Republic of Latvia still display a statistically significant negative vote against the political parties included in the previous government of Latvia, which does not promote social or ethnic stability and creates conditions for potential security risks to Latvia in the future.
