The formal signing of the coalition agreement took place at 1:30 PM within the Seimas, during a recess between the morning and evening parliamentary sessions. I. Ruginienė was reportedly present for the proceedings.
Her schedule also included a separate working meeting scheduled for 1:00 PM, though specific details regarding the location or participants of that meeting were not released. According to Ignas Algirdas Dobrovolskas, a representative for the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister was unable to attend the signing ceremony because she was occupied with a working meeting involving Energy Minister Zigmantas Vaičiūnas. The restructuring of governmental duties indicates a shared executive responsibility.
The Prime Minister’s portfolio will be managed jointly by I. Ruginienė, who is the leader of the Social Democrats, and the Energy Minister. This shared duty stems from the fact that the Democrats are taking control of the Ministry of Energy, a department that Lukas Savickas is overseeing the redesign of.
Following the confirmation of M. Sinkevičius as the Prime Minister, the scope of duties available to I. Ruginienė as the leader of the Social Democrats has become more defined.
The successful passage of the coalition agreement marks a significant procedural step in the formation of the new governing structure, despite the Prime Minister’s absence from the initial signing event.
