We will have to say goodbye to these politicians, to whom the doors of the Seimas will be closed

Lost after a duel

After the second round of the Seimas elections, it became clear that Gediminas Vasiliauskas, representative of the Union of Greens and Peasants of Lithuania (LVŽS), would no longer be in the Seimas. In the single-member electoral district of Petrašiūnai-Gričiupis, he landed for the conservative Kazys Starkevičius and did not enter parliament with the party list.

Another representative of LVŽS Aušra Papirtienė was also unlucky. In the electoral district of Kalniečiai, the current MP landed for the conservative Arvydas Anušauskas and did not enter the Seimas. Like G. Vasiliauskas, A. Papirtienė stayed behind the board and did not enter the Seimas with the list of matches.

Kaunas was also not grateful to the other LVS candidate. Peasant girl Audronė Jankuvienė, who fought against the leader of the Union of the Fatherland – Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party (TS-LKD) Gabrielė Landsbergis, lost in the second round, so she will not enter the Seimas.

In the Sun constituency, LVŽS representative Valerijus Simulik was lost to nominee Domas Griškevičius and his career at Seimas is coming to an end.

In Gargždai, TS-LKD representative Rasa Petrauskienė was lost to the nominated candidate Petras Gražulis. According to the TS-LKD list, this politician did not enter parliament.

Darius Kaminskas, who currently works in the LVŽS faction, was also unlucky in the Kėdainiai district. In the second round of the Seimas elections, this parliamentarian was elected by Tomas Bičiūnas, representative of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP), and was prevented from entering the Seimas.

We will also have to say goodbye to another representative of the LVŽS in the current parliament. In the single-member constituency of Radviliškis – Tytuvėnai, the peasant Aurimas Gaidžiūnas gave way to the conservative Antanas Čepononis and will have to say goodbye to his job at Seimas.

Arūnas Gumuliauskas, a representative of the LVŽS, who dropped off LSDP candidate Liudas Jonaitis in the western constituency of Žiemgala, is also leaving the Seimas.

Raimundas Martinėlis, former representative of the LVŽS and TS-LKD factions, who did not stand out, will not enter the new Seimas. In the eastern Sėla constituency, the politician landed for Vidmantas Kanopa, a representative of the LSDP.

Rimantas Sinkevičius, representative of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Labor Party (LSDDP) and current Minister of Economy and Innovation, is also finishing his political career. In the Jonava constituency, the politician was downgraded to LSDP representative Eugenijus Sabutis, and the LSDDP list did not cross the 5 percent barrier.

Raminta Popovienė, representative of the LSDP, will no longer be in the new parliament. In the electoral district of Raudondvaris, the politician lost to the current head of the Seimas, the representative of the Liberal Movement Viktoras Pranckietis, and they will not be in the new Seimas.

Kęstutis Smirnovs, the representative of LVŽS, will also have to say goodbye to Seimas. In the Vilkaviškis electoral district, he failed to surpass the former prime minister, the representative of the Lithuanian green parties, Algirdas Butkevičius.

It was already clear after the first electoral round

After the first round of the Seimas elections, it has already become clear that we will no longer see several well-known politicians in parliament.

2017 Gediminas Kirkilas and her colleagues, who split from the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) led by Gintautas Paluckas, suffered a fiasco. Renowned members of the Lithuanian Labor and Social Democratic Party (LSDDP) remained behind these elections. The party led by G. Kirkilas collected 3.17 percent. votes and did not exceed 5 percent. cartels.

Party chairman Gediminas Kirkilas, who ran in the Vilnius Fabijoniškės constituency, received 844 votes and remained sixth in the single-member position.

Linas Antanas Linkevičius, who is currently the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, was also not re-elected.

Another member of this party, the influential MP Juozas Bernatonis, who ran in the Justiniškės-Viršuliškės constituency, was also unlucky.

We will no longer see long-term Seimas member Irena Šiaulienė, who has been re-elected to work here since 1992 and worked for Lithuania for almost 30 years.

Not in 2018 either. Ona Valiukevičiūtė, a well-known pop singer in the past, has replaced then-Seimas Kęstutis Pūkas member, who has been embroiled in scandals.

We will no longer have the opportunity to see Vytautas Kamblevičius at Seimas, he worked at Seimas in 2004-2008. and 2012-2020

Rimantas Jonas Dagys and Mantas Adomėnas, former members of the TS-LKD party, did not join this Seimas either.

Irina Rozova also did not smile at the electoral success this time, she has been working at the Seimas intermittently since 2006, she has recently received accusations about ties with Russia, but the accusation initiated has not been implemented. I. Rozova ran in the Mariai district, 4 of the 13 candidates remained.

The seat of a member of the Seimas was also lost by Zbignev Jedinskij, who was famous for various jumps. He served in parliament from 2012 to 2020, running for office in the southern district of Nalšia, where 4 out of 11 candidates remained.

Jaroslav Narkevičius, who has been embroiled in major scandals lately, has also failed. He has worked at Seimas since 2013 and in 2019-2020. served as Minister of Transportation. He applied in the Center-Žaliakalnis district, where 13 of the 15 candidates remained.

We will no longer see Naglis Puteikis, who has been a member of the Seimas since 2008.

For Povilas Urbšis, these elections to the Seimas were also unsuccessful. He was a member of the western district of Panevėžys, he worked at the Seimas for two periods, from 2012 to 2020. He was third in the single-member.
