VILNIUS (Reuters) -The leader of Lithuania's main opposition Social Democrats said on Monday she expected to become the next prime minister of the frontline NATO member state after her party won most votes in Sunday's parliamentary election.
The Social Democrats won 19% of the vote, according to final partial results, just ahead of Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte's centre-right Homeland Union on 18% and the anti-establishment Nemunas Dawn on 15%.
