Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė resigned on Tuesday, June 23, leading to the fall of her government after just 10 months in power.
The resignation comes months after a similar political crisis in Latvia. In Lithuania, the crisis was sparked by disagreements within the ruling coalition, where the positions of the far-right party, part of the government, prompted the Social Democrats to seek the creation of a new parliamentary majority.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda is expected to nominate Social Democratic Party leader Mindaugas Sinkevičius as his candidate for the post of prime minister.
If the appointment is approved by MPs, Nausėda will officially decree him prime minister and task him with forming a new government.
Until the new cabinet is formed, the government led by Ruginienė will continue to exercise its duties in the capacity of the outgoing government.
