“It is a member of the Labour Party,” Bukauskas told reporters after the meeting with the PM.

“I believe that upon receiving a report on the candidate’s impeccable reputation from a responsible institution, the prime minister will forward the submission to the president,” he said.

Butkevičius, meanwhile, expects a report from the STT on the Labour Party’s proposed candidate next week.

As reported, Lithuanian President Grybauskaitė decided not accept the Labour Party’s previous nomination, Vydas Gedvilas, quoting a report compiled by the Special Investigation Service.
