💨 Abstract

Lithuanians are voting in the first round of parliamentary elections on October 16. The ruling center-right Homeland Union may lose to a center-left coalition, according to polls. Criticism of Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, economic policies, and migration issues have contributed to the government's decreased popularity. The opposition Social Democrats have pledged to address income inequality and implement welfare initiatives.
