The Lithuanian Central Electoral Commission on Friday cancelled the mandate of Antanas Guoga, an MP elected with the Labour Party s list, and awarded the seat in the Seimas to Artūras Skardžius.
Guoga submitted his resignation from parliament back in January, but the election commission refused to grant it, because he failed to show up at the meeting in person, as required by law.
The commission s decision will take effect on Saturday.
The MP, who ran for parliament with the Lithuanian Labour Party, said he was resigning because he saw no possibilities to deliver on his election promises.
