2016 Lithanian Parliamentary Election - Lithuanian Peasants and Green Union (LPGU) Wins 54 seats in the 14-member parliament

A centrist agrarian party that was previously represented by a single parliamentarian has won a shock victory in Lithuanian elections.

With nearly all the results from the second round now in, the Lithuanian Peasants and Green Union (LPGU) has won nearly 40% of the seats.

The LPGU won 54 seats in the 141-member parliament, the Homeland Union won 31 seats while the Social Democrats - the main party in the previous administration - won 17 seats, the state election commission told

The LPGU will now seek to form a coalition government.

It will do so either with the opposition Homeland Union or with the left-of-centre Social Democrats.

Lithuania's population is said to have shrunk to 2.9 million from 3.3 million a decade ago with an estimated 370,000 relocating mostly to the UK, since Lithuania joined the EU in 2004.
