RIGA, ‌Oct 3 (Reuters) - ​Latvian ​Prime Minister Andris ‌Kulbergs' centrist United List ⁠looked set to ‌win Saturday's election ‌for parliament, as widely expected, but ​must build a coalition ⁠with other parties to ​stay in power, an exit poll showed.

Security ​concerns and ‌cost of living issues ⁠have dominated the election agenda ⁠in Latvia, a NATO ​and European Union member state which borders Russia ‌and is home to ‌a significant ⁠Russian-speaking minority.
