“We had a party convention and people had the opportunity to exchange their opinions. With no doubt, there’s considerable support for the incumbent prime minister from within. But, first, the prime minister himself should make up his mind and announce his decision. I don’t hear about any other candidates within the party,” Sinkevičius told the Žinių Radijas news radio on Wednesday.

The eventual candidate has to be confirmed by the party’s convention and its date has not been set yet.
