Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina said on Thursday that she will resign, just months before an election.

"I am ⁠resigning, but I am not giving up," she said in a televised statement.

Silina, of the center-right New Unity party, was left without a ruling majority in the parliament on Wednesday after the left-wing Progressives party said it was withdrawing its support.
