T.V. Raskevičius, the current chairman of the Freedom Party in Lithuania, announced through Facebook that his term would end during the party's upcoming general assembly on March 11. He reflected on his leadership, asserting that the party's strength had not only been maintained but had actually grown stronger. He emphasized the party's stability, transparency, and vision, citing the importance of freedom and thanking all supporters for their contributions during his tenure.

During his leadership from 2020 to 2024, the Freedom Party was part of a governing coalition alongside conservatives and liberals but faced significant challenges, culminating in their failure to secure a seat in the parliament in the upcoming elections. This setback led to the resignation of the former leader, Aušrinė Armonaitė, prompting members to appoint Raskevičius as the new leader. As he steps down, he confirmed his endorsement of V. Mitalas, who is currently serving as his deputy, to take over the leadership role.

The political landscape in Lithuania continues to evolve as the Freedom Party navigates the aftermath of its electoral defeat. The transition of leadership to V. Mitalas, assuming Raskevičius' endorsement carries weight within the party and among its supporters, indicates an effort to stabilize the party's direction. The upcoming assembly will be pivotal in deciding the future path and strategies of the Freedom Party as it prepares for future political challenges.
