Latvian local elections: voter apathy and the re-election of a criminal 1 minute read Riga, Jun 6 (EFE).- Latvia’s first local government elections Saturday since a major regional reform saw historically low voter participation, few political surprises and the re-election of Aivars Lembergs, a convicted criminal serving prison time, to the city council in the port city of Ventspils. Just over 34% of the 964,339 people eligible to vote in 41 local government units, most of them recently redrawn, headed to the polls, the lowest since Latvia regained its independence in 1991, according to the Baltic country’s Central Election Commission. In Ventspils, the “For Latvia and Ventspils” party of Lembergs took 54.3% of the vote despite the politician currently serving a five-year prison sentence for corruption and money laundering as well as facing the confiscation of real estate and assets worth perhaps hundreds of millions of euros.
