LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - Luxembourg voters delivered an uncertain outcome in an election on Sunday, leaving the liberal-led coalition with just enough seats to stay in government and the traditionally dominant centre-right also capable of returning to power.

Opinion polls had indicated that the Christian Social People's Party (CSV) - which was led for 19 years by EU chief executive Jean-Claude Juncker - would end Xavier Bettel's five years as prime minister of a three-party coalition.
