The appointment process for new governmental positions has generated significant public discussion. Candidates running for the presidency, including Gitano Nausėda, have noted instances where the appointment of individuals to ministerial roles occurred concurrently with the head of state’s official announcement. In some cases, candidates, such as the “socdemo” candidate for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Martynas Katėnas, reportedly found themselves in a position requiring protest.
The final list of ministers was posted by M. Sinkevičius on Facebook to G. Nausėda on Friday morning.
The announcement confirmed that M. Sinkevičius has been appointed the new Prime Minister. Following this appointment, he stated that he formed the government on Friday and submitted it to the President for approval.
Constitution Article 93, paragraph 3 outlines the procedural requirements, stipulating that “The Prime Minister presents the government he has formed and approved by the President to the Seimas no later than 15 days after his appointment.”
These procedural details underscore the structured nature of forming the new administration. The public nature of the announcements and the immediate appointment of key figures to ministerial posts have drawn attention to the mechanics of governmental transition. While the process has been publicly detailed, the specific steps for presenting the formed government to the Seimas remain governed by constitutional timelines.
