After the parliament approves the Prime Minister's candidacy, the new head of government will have up to 15 days to form the Cabinet of Ministers and submit a government program agreed upon with the President.
Distribution of Ministries
As reported, the leaders of the three parliamentary forces are set to sign a new coalition agreement as early as Thursday. The majority will include the Social Democrats, the Democratic Union "For Lithuania," and the Lithuanian Farmers, Greens and Christian Families Union.
According to the agreements, the Democrats will receive the ministries of energy, health, and agriculture. The Lithuanian Farmers, Greens and Christian Families Union will retain control over the ministries of justice and economy and innovation. The remaining nine ministries will go to the Social Democrats.
The new ruling majority is expected to have 75 deputies in the Seimas. The reformatting of the coalition took place after the Social Democrats' decision in early June to terminate cooperation with the "Dawn of Nemunas" party and invite the Democratic Union "For Lithuania" into the majority.
