Article
Gintautas Paluckas ( Lithuanian: [ˈɡʲɪntˠɐʊtˠɐs pˠɐˈlˠʊtskɐs]; born 19 August 1979) is a Lithuanian politician who was the 18th prime minister of Lithuania from December 2024 until his resignation on 4 August 2025. He was previously Deputy Mayor of Vilnius from 2015 to 2019, led the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) between 2017 and 2021, and has been a member of the Seimas since the 2020 election. In 2025, Paluckas returned as LSDP leader after Vilija Blinkevičiūtė decided not to run for another term.
In the 2024 Lithuanian parliamentary election, Paluckas ran in the single-member constituency of Utena but finished third. Despite this, the LSDP won the overall election, and Paluckas secured a seat in the Seimas via the party's proportional representation list. Subsequently, he was nominated and confirmed as Prime Minister of Lithuania. The inclusion of the Dawn of Nemunas in his cabinet sparked protests.
