United List

The idea for the electoral alliance, developed from May 2022 onwards, initially used the name "United List of Latvia" (Latvijas apvienotais saraksts). Initiated by Uldis Pīlēns, it sought to bring together political parties and non-partisan professionals in a common electoral list based on the earlier experience of the United List of Liepāja (Liepājas apvienotais saraksts). The non-governmental association created to support the project was scheduled to hold its founding event on 1 July and was to be named United List of Latvia (Apvienotais Latvijas saraksts).^[11]

One of the catalysts in the origins of the alliance was the refusal of the Green and Liepāja parties to work with their former Union of Greens and Farmers partners who had continued to promote Aivars Lembergs as its prime ministerial candidate despite his criminal conviction.^[12]

The alliance's joint candidate list for the 2022 Latvian parliamentary election was registered on 26 July 2022, with Didzis Šmits as the lead candidate, followed by Edvards Smiltēns, Edgars Tavars, Māris Kučinskis, and Juris Viļums. Pīlēns was announced as the alliance's candidate for Prime Minister, although he did not run as a parliamentary candidate.^[13] The United List received 100,631 votes (11.01%) and won 15 seats in the Saeima, becoming the third-largest parliamentary group.^[14]

On 6 December 2022, the United List announced its ministerial candidates as part of the coalition government formation process with New Unity and the National Alliance. Its nominees included the non-affiliated Līga Meņģelsone for Health Minister, Didzis Šmits for Agriculture Minister, Māris Kučinskis for Interior Minister, and Māris Sprindžuks for Minister for Environmental Protection and Regional Development.^[15]

The alliance places national security, effective state administration, and the development of a green economy among its main priorities. Its programme highlights the importance of the defence industry and a stronger NATO presence in the region. It also supports greater use of local renewable energy resources and sustainable economic development. In addition, the alliance advocates making referendums easier to initiate.^[16]

The alliance also emphasizes cooperation with European Union partners. Its economic priorities include reducing regional inequalities and promoting more balanced development across the country, particularly by supporting rural development and increasing political accountability to municipalities.^[17]
