Vilija Blinkevičiūtė, Member of the European Parliament and Vice President of the Social Democratic Party, is proposed to temporarily lead the party.
“The council has been contacted and its members will decide by electronic vote before noon on Monday whether to approve the candidacy of V. Blinkevičiūtė,” says LSDP Executive Secretary Justas Pankauskas.
LSDP members will elect a new president in the near future. The first round of direct elections for LSDP president will take place April 22-25, according to the LSDP report.
The LSDP president is elected for a two-year term.
ELTA recalls that after the unsuccessful elections to the Seimas of the LSDP, G. Paluckas received many criticisms and calls from former party members to resign.
Paluck’s additional leadership was discussed at a remote LSDP council meeting Wednesday. Finally, on Friday, Mr. Paluck announced that he would be leaving office.
On Thursday, ELTA announced that Juozas Olekas intends to participate in the election of the president of the LSDP. According to Olek, various chapters of the LSDP urge him to run for the party presidency, and he, in turn, agreed to do so when he saw Paluck’s undocumented Social Democratic community.
