History
[edit]On the night of 14 October, Vilija Blinkevičiūtė and Saulius Skvernelis, the leaders of the LSDP and the DSVL respectively, agreed to cooperate in the second round and to form a coalition government afterwards.[1] LVŽS joined the agreement on 15 October.[2] On 30 October, Blinkevičiūtė confirmed that she will not be prime minister and will continue to work as a member of the European Parliament, citing her age and health. Gintautas Paluckas became the party's candidate for Prime Minister.[3]
On 7 November, the LSDP invited the DSVL and Dawn of Nemunas to form a ruling coalition, which would encompass 86 of the 141 seats in the Seimas.[4] On 21 November, Paluckas was nominated as the Prime Minister by the Seimas, with 88 votes in favor.[5]
Cabinet (proposed)
[edit]The cabinet's minister list is currently pending and will be confirmed by the President of Lithuania in the following weeks.[6][7][8]
