| Lithuania's 'Iron Lady' claims victory for second presidential term (AFP) |
Vilnius
(AFP) - Lithuanian incumbent President Dalia Grybauskaite, known as the
"Iron Lady", claimed an unprecedented second term Sunday in a runoff
held amid widespread apprehension over a resurgent Russia.
"No
president has been elected twice in a row in Lithuania. It will be a historic
victory for all of you," she said as official results showed her capturing
58 percent support against 42 percent for leftist rival Zigmantas Balcytis with
nearly three-quarters of the vote counted.
