New poll reveals three-way tie for Lithuanian presidential candidate, with Gediminas Kirkilas
A new opinion survey conducted on March 23 indicates a tight contest among four candidates to succeed President Valdas Adamkus in the upcoming election. The latest data shows that former Prime Minister Gediminas Kirkilas, businessman Gintautas Paluckis, and current Vice-President Ingrida Šimonytė are tied for first place with nearly identical approval ratings of approximately 24%. While previous polls often highlighted a single clear favorite or two leading candidates, this recent analysis reveals significant discrepancies in how different polling firms have weighted the results.
