Iceland's left-right coalition government was poised to win a majority in Saturday's general election, early results showed, though Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir's Left-Green Movement was seen losing crucial ground to her right-wing partners.

The three coalition parties were credited with 38 of 63 seats in parliament, with around a third of votes counted, though it remained to be seen whether the three would agree to continue to govern together after the election.
