Luxembourg - Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker's Christian Social Party (CSV) was set to win Luxembourg's general election on Sunday, according to television projections. Television channel RTL showed the CSV increasing its share of the vote from 36.1 per cent to 38.1 per cent, giving it 28 seats in the 60-member legislature.
Juncker's Social Democrat coalition partner, headed by Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn, saw its share of the vote drop by 2 per cent to 21.3 per cent.
The Liberals came in third with 15.8 per cent. The right-wing ADR saw its share decline to 8.1 per cent from 10 per cent in the last elections.
The Left Party gained 3.23 per cent, enabling it to sent a deputy to parliament for the first time.
Juncker is the EU's longest-serving premier, having first assumed office in 1995. He said last week that if returned to power he would step down from the post of finance minister he holds concurrently with the premiership.
Sunday's national ballot took place at the same time as the elections for the European Parliament.
