Farmers & Greens elect chair of political group, more lawmakers join it

On Thursday, the Farmers and Greens (LVŽS) political group elected Aušrinė Norkienė as its chairwoman. She headed it in the previous term of office as well.

It was also announced that the LVŽS political group would be joined by three MPs from the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania-Christian Families Alliance (LLRA-KŠS).

"Despite our list having had 8 people, we are growing to 11," Norkienė told reporters.

She pointed out that former presidential candidate Ignas Vėgėlė is staying with the LVŽS political group, too.

Based on the Statute of the Seimas, a political group has to have at least 7 MPs.
