Lithuania's governing coalition named a new prime minister on Tuesday, after a coalition reshuffle that expelled a populist junior partner.
The appointment of Mindaugas Sinkevičius, the head of the Social Democratic party who briefly served as economy minister, was confirmed by Lithuanian president Gitanas Nausėda.
Sinkevičius will replace current prime minister Inga Ruginienė, also a Social Democrat.
