Paulius Malžinskas, who also failed in this year’s bid for the presidency of the Lithuanian Football Federation (LFF), jumped from 114 to 41 on the Liberal Movement list.

Sergejus Jovaiša, the representative of the Union of the Homeland – Christian Democrats of Lithuania, who won the elections in the multi-member constituency, remained in 37th place on the list and will keep his cabinet in the Seimas in case of a successful appearance of the party in the second round.

In addition, the former basketball player from the northern district of Deltuva also climbed to the second round (20.97%) and will compete with the “peasant” Tomás Tomilinas (22.15%).

At the time, his party colleague Edvin Krungolc failed to break into parliament: the former pentathlete was ranked 72nd on the Conservative list.

Kęstutis Smirnovas (32nd place on the list), the current chairman of the Seimas Youth and Sports Affairs Commission, is still hopeful and will try to trust both the partisans and his own forces in the second round.

The former mixed martial arts representative (22.64%) in the Vilkaviškis constituency will have to face former Lithuanian Green Party Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius (30.08%) in search of revenge for the sensational defeat of the last elections.

Simas Galdikas, the central striker for Klaipėda “Neptūnas”, who ran with the Labor Party, was overboard. Despite the success of his comrades in the multi-member constituency, the basketball player is ranked 16th on the list and no longer has the opportunity to occupy the seat of a member of the Seimas.

In the Baltic single-member constituency, the highest did not attract voters and remained fifth (9.47%).

The cyclist Simona Krupeckaitė was even further away from the goal. The Social Democratic candidate was ranked 25th on the list. Rowing judge Algirdas Raslanas was 42nd. None of them managed to shine in single-member districts either.

Former basketball player Linas Kvedaravičius, ranked 23rd on the Freedom Party list, did not break the electoral barrier either.

In the Molėtai-Širvintos district, Jonas Pinskus, a former rower (24.01%), continues to fight for the mandate in the second round. The “Socdarbiai” candidate will compete with the conservative Valentinas Stundis (18.76%).

His party, former soccer player Ritas Vaiginas, again failed in the Seimas elections, as did the deputy minister of Education, Science and Sports for the first time, Kornelia Tiesnesyte.

However, the biggest fiasco was suffered by the “basketball party” dubbed “Lithuania – of all”.

The political force led by former basketball player Tomas Pasčes (fourth on the list) collectively gathered just 0.96 percent. votes and will not have a representative in the second round.

Coaches Valdemaras Chomičius (2) and Rūtenis Paulauskas (17), players Steponas Babrauskas (19) and Artūras Jomantas (20) also have to swallow the bitterness of defeat.

The second round of the parliamentary elections will take place on October 25.
