Lithuanians are gearing up for the second and final round of parliamentary elections, set to take place on Sunday. The conservative governing party remains a strong contender despite facing challenges such as strict COVID-19 measures, political scandals, and an influx of migrants from Belarus.
Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonyte's government, in power since 2020, has seen a decline in popularity due to these issues. The election comes at a critical time as concerns about Russia's actions, especially in the Baltic region, are heightened following the war in Ukraine.
