RIGA, Latvia — Voters in Latvia agreed Saturday to endure more painful economic reforms by re-electing the center-right government.

With over 90 percent of the ballots counted, the government of Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis won with nearly 59 percent of the vote, according to the Central Election Committee.

Dombrovskis campaigned on a pledge to fight corruption and continue unpopular budget cuts and tax hikes required to meet a $10.3 billion international bailout program that a previous government signed onto two years ago to avert bankruptcy.
