Vilnius, Lithuania - October 28, 2024

Lithuania's Social Democrats won a parliamentary election on Sunday.

The vote was overshadowed by Russia's war in Ukraine and concerns over the rising cost of living.

According to official government figures, the center-left party was leading with 52 seats in the 141-member assembly with 99% of the vote counted. Meanwhile, the ruling conservative Homeland Union Party was on track to come in second with 28 seats.

The leader of the Social Democrats, Vilija Blinkeviciute, told reporters that she believed her party would have a majority in parliament along with its likely coalition partners — For Lithuania, and the Farmers and Greens Union.
