Lithuanians voted in the first round of general elections, marking a potential shift in power as opposition Social Democrats lead, aiming for a coalition government.
The Social Democrats, previously in opposition, secured about 23% of the vote, while the ruling Homeland Union trailed with just over 13%, reflecting a substantial shift in voter sentiment.
Leader Vilija Blinkeviciute conveyed optimism after the results, stating the Social Democrats will pursue forming a majority coalition, indicating significant political change ahead.
Pollsters anticipated a shift, suggesting the ruling center-right government may be replaced by a coalition led by the Social Democrats and other smaller parties.
