Gitanas Nauseda (R) attends a press conference after the final results of the first round was announced in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, May 13, 2019. Simonyte, supported by the country's main opposition party the Homeland Union-Christian Democrats, gained 31.13 percent of the votes in a close fight with economist Gitanas Nauseda, the country's Central Electoral Commission said after counting votes from all 1,972 polling stations. Nauseda, an independent candidate, received support of 30.95 percent of the votes. The difference between the candidates in absolute numbers was 2,647 votes. Since none of the candidates received more than 50 percent, the second round of presidential election will be held on May 26, alongside with the country's election to the European Parliament.
