Latvia’s Prime Minister Evika Silina said ‌she would resign on Thursday, triggering the collapse of her coalition government just months before an election is due in October, Reuters reported.

“I am ⁠resigning, but I am not giving up,” Reuters quoted her as saying in a televised statement.

Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics, who is tasked by the constitution to select a leader of the government, will meet all parliamentary parties on ‌Friday.

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.

The decision followed the firing at the ⁠weekend of Progressives’ Defense Minister Andris Spruds over the handling of ⁠incidents involving stray Ukrainian drones flying into Latvia from Russia, according to Reuters.
