US EditionLithuanian president is the front-runner as country heads to runoff vote in two weeks
- According to preliminary results published by Lithuania’s Central Electoral Commission, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda won 44% of the votes in a weekend presidential election, while Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė received nearly 20% of the votes. There were eight candidates running in the election, making it difficult for any candidate to achieve the 50% of votes needed to win the presidency outright. As a result, a runoff is scheduled to be held on May 26.
- The runoff will feature a contest between Nausėda and Šimonytė, who were the top two vote-getters in the election. Nausėda's victory in the first round of voting is a significant achievement, as he will now face off against Šimonytė in the runoff.
- The election took place on May 12, 2024, and the runoff is scheduled for May 26, 2024. The outcome of the presidential election is important for Lithuania's political future, and it will determine who will lead the country for the next five years.
