ZAGREB, Croatia—The ruling conservatives overwhelmingly won Croatia’s parliamentary elections held Sunday.

With over 90 percent of the vote counted, the governing Croatian Democratic Union, or HDZ, won 66 seats in Croatia’s 151-seat parliament and is likely to form a new coalition government with smaller right-wing groups.
