Three parties stand out as the biggest spenders on campaign advertising so far: the United List, the Union of Greens and Farmers (ZZS), and Latvia First. These parties have invested more in promoting themselves than other election contestants.
The broadcast did not provide a detailed breakdown of spending by individual party, but confirmed that the combined total spent by all parties on self-promotion has reached nearly €2.78 million.
