In a recent interview with news portal 'Delfi', Minister M. Sinkevičius suggested that non-affiliated ministers join the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP). He emphasized the importance of joining out of genuine interest and feeling, rather than through pressure or obligation. Key figures such as Žygimantas Vaičiūnas, Kęstutis Budrys, and Marija Jakubauskienė are openly welcomed to join the party if they decide to do so, signaling a potential opportunity for the LSDP to strengthen its ranks.

However, interest among these ministers appears limited as they currently resist joining the political party. Health Minister M. Jakubauskienė has refrained from elaborating on her plans regarding LSDP membership, a point underscored by her advisor who confirmed that she appreciates the invitation but remains unattached to any party. This hesitance could indicate a broader trend among non-party ministers, reflecting a caution similar to their colleagues and highlighting the complexities of political affiliations in Lithuania.

As political dynamics evolve, the reluctance of these ministers could affect the LSDP's strategy towards consolidating power and influence within the Lithuanian government. The responses from other ministers and the ongoing political atmosphere may ultimately determine how the party navigates these affiliations in pursuit of a more unified governmental approach. The situation invites further scrutiny of how party dynamics and individual ministerial roles shift in tandem with public expectation and internal party cohesion.
