Lithuania’s marginal pro-Russian party prevails in Minsk
October 15, Pozirk. The pro-Russian Lithuanian People’s Party (LPP) won 25.7 percent of the 35 votes cast at the Lithuanian embassy in Minsk, according to Pozirk’s analysis of the official data from the first round of Lithuania’s parliamentary election.
Overall, Lithuania’s Social Democrats prevailed in the October 13 vote with 19 percent followed by the current ruling conservative Homeland Union–Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD) on 18 percent, according to preliminary results.
The LPP fell short of the 5 percent hurdle required for entering the Seimas and ranked 10th with 2.6 percent.
The Lithuanian Social Democratic Party received only one vote in Minsk.
The 141-seat Lithuanian Seimas is elected in a two-round system, with the runoff scheduled for October 27 in single-member districts.
Lithuanians in Belarus will choose between Christian Democrat Dalia Asanavičiūtė and current Economy Minister Aušrinė Armonaitė, leader of the liberal Freedom Party.
