In signing the document, the President also assumed the role of temporary head of the cabinet, while concurrently instructing the existing temporary cabinet to assume its duties. Further details regarding the political appointments were shared during a session of the county’s senators.
Juozas Olekas, the head of parliament, informed attendees that the head of state was scheduled to present the candidate for Prime Minister from the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP) to the plenary session on Thursday afternoon.

While some expressed sentiment, stating, “We were a team,” the focus remained on the official procedural steps being taken by the state. The actions taken by the head of state confirm a structured handover of executive authority.
