“We hope for the best results, but it is important to come and vote. The future of our state is in the hands of the people,” Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė, one of the party leaders, told reporters.
In the second round in the Pilaitė-Karoliniškės district of the capital, she competes with the prime minister, the leader of the “peasant” list, Saulius Skvernelis.
The conservative candidate is cautious with her chances, she would call the victory over the head of government the success of the entire team.
“I think it is not only mine, but also a team opportunity for our political community. I think that people have partly chosen the course by expressing their preferences in the first round, it only remains to ensure it,” said the conservative candidate.
“The prime minister is, of course, a strong candidate, he cannot say anything. The man has been doing one job or the other for four years and has a great reputation, but I am very confident in the success of our team, ”he added.
