Luxembourg election delivers likely return to power for conservative CSV party

Coalition talks to begin on Monday after full results show previous Liberal-led coalition no longer has majority

The coalition government of Luxembourg's Liberal prime minister Xavier Bettel has lost its parliamentary majority in Sunday's general election, which also saw the Greens routed.

That leaves the way open for the biggest single party, the conservative Christian Social People's party (CSV). The CSV came out on top, as it did at the last elections in 2018, with 29% of the vote, up 0.9 percentage points, according to the full results published on Sunday evening.
