Government formation
On November 9, 2016, around two and a half weeks after the election, the League of Peasants and Greens of Lithuania (LVŽS) and the previously ruling Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP) agreed on a governing coalition in the 12th Seimas . The leader of the coalition is the LVŽS, as it now forms the largest parliamentary group with 54 seats. In contrast to the previous coalition, the LSDP is only a junior partner with 17 seats.
On November 22nd, parliament elected the non-party Saulius Skvernelis as the new head of government in a vote of confidence . Of the 141 MPs, 90 voted for Skvernelis, which is significantly more than those of the new governing coalition. Skvernelis then had two weeks to form a government. On December 13, 2016, the new government program was confirmed by the Seimas and the Skvernelis cabinet took its oath of office.
