Political career
Paksas, a former member of the Communist Party of Lithuania (LKP) and its successor leftist Democratic Labour Party (LDDP), changed his political orientation in favour of a centrist Right Homeland Union (Lithuanian Conservatives). Paksas was elected to Vilnius City Council in 1997 and became the Mayor of the Vilnius city municipality. Paksas has also served as chairman of the Vilnius branch of the Homeland Union (Lithuanian Conservatives).
Valiantly resigned in May 1999, and President Valdas Adamkus asked Paksas to serve as Prime Minister, after Valiantas stepped down. The Conservatives possessed 68 of the Seimas' 138 seats and were part of an 81-member coalition with the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party in a 81-member alliance.
He became Prime Minister in June 1999 and served in the ninth government after independence. He resigned five months later due to a rift over the transfer of Maeiki Nafta, a major Lithuanian oil refining company, to a US oil company. He then served as the Special Assignments envoy to Adamkus.
He returned to the Vilnius city municipality after leaving Homeland Union Paksas and joined the Liberal Union of Lithuania in April 2000. He was elected Prime Minister in the 11th Cabinet in 2000 and served from November 2000 to June 2001. Paksas was elected as a chairman of his newly formed Liberal Democrats in March 2002.
After a surprise victory over incumbent Valdas Adamkus in a runoff on January 5, he was elected President of Lithuania on January 5th. Paksas came in second place in the first round of elections with 19.7% of the vote, but in the runoff, he received 59%. His platform included pledges to eliminate poverty and income disparities, combat crime, institute the death penalty for drug dealers, and shift Lithuania toward a more market-based economy.
On February 26, 2003, his term as President began. During his term, suspicions arose that he had ties to the Russian mafia. By Paksas' decree, Yuri Borisov, the president of Avia Baltika, had contributed $400,000 to his campaign and was granted Lithuanian citizenship. The Constitutional Court of Lithuania later found this decision to be unconstitutional. The State Security Department of Lithuania investigated Paksas' links. The Seimas initiated impeachment hearings against him in early 2004. The Constitutional Court of Lithuania found him guilty of violating the constitution and the oath of office on March 31, 2004. Borisov's probe revealed leaked classified information about his probe into Borisov; that he had mistakenly restored Borisov's citizenship; and that he interfered in a privatization agreement on April 6, 2004. The election was carried out, effectively ending Paksas' from the presidency.
