Vilnius, Oct 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) Lithuania's opposition Social Democratic Party (LSDP) won the parliamentary election runoff, according to preliminary results of the Central Electoral Commission.
In the first round, LSDP won 20 seats in the Seimas, Lithuania's Parliament, and in the second round held on Sunday secured 32 single-mandate constituencies, Xinhua news agency reported.
The ruling Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats came second in the elections and will provisionally have a faction of 28 members in the Seimas.
