When asked by journalists in Seimas on Thursday if he would reply about participation in the elections to the Council of the Union of Peasants and Greens of Lithuania (LVŽS) on Friday, S. Skvernelis explained that he did not know what issues and proposals would be debated there.
“We will see this, we also need some suggestions,” he said.
After clarifying that the proposals have been known for a long time, the “peasants” offer him to keep the list of candidates for the Seimas elections, S. Skvernelis smiled and asked: “And what is it for?”

According to the Prime Minister, to obtain the mandate of a member of the Seimas, it is necessary to gain the trust of the people and win in a single-member electoral district or according to a multi-member electoral list.
“It just caught our eye then. My participation in the elections relates only to the LVŽS. And the candidacy in the constituencies, the lists, the numbers, will probably become clear much later. It must be the party’s best decision and should not interfere with government work. Because government must work after all and time is not simple, the election campaign will apparently be difficult and difficult to reconcile. And probably other factors, also due to the single-member constituencies themselves , because being the prime minister is really difficult to pay as much attention as you should pay to the single-member constituency itself, ”said S. Skvernelis.

At the same time, he was quick to clarify that journalists had misunderstood his words that he would not participate in the Seimas elections in a single-member constituency.
The Prime Minister emphasized that he was trying to explain what discussions were taking place and what decisions would need to be made.
