According to the results of the vote count, the ruling party "Union of the Fatherland-Lithuanian Christian Democrats" is in second place - the Conservatives received 17.96% of the vote.
The third is Zorya Nemunas. They received 14.99% of the vote.
The Democratic Union "For the Name of Lithuania" led by Saulius Skvernelis is in fourth place with 9.24%.
The greatest tension reigned throughout the evening at the headquarters of the Union of Peasants and Greens party. Until the last polling station, it was unclear whether the party would enter the Sejm. Only around 04.30 did it become clear that the party had gained 7.02% and thus almost got into the Sejm.
Another political force on the verge of entering the Sejm was the Freedom Party. The Liberal Party received only 4.5% of the vote, and the party needed to overcome the 5% threshold to enter the parliament.
