The right-win opposition Conservative Party and Liberal Center Union won 43 seats in the 141-member Lithuanian parliament, after more than 99 percent of the votes were counted in the second round of parliamentary elections on Sunday, reports from Lithuanian capital Vilnius said Monday.

The opposition Labor party grabbed 39 seats and the ruling Social Democrat/Social Liberal coalition were in the third place with 32 seats.

However, Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas said on Sunday he was confident that the ruling coalition would stay in office with the help of other parties.

The final results will be announced on Oct. 31 and the first session of the new parliament will be held on Nov. 15. Sixty-six seats of the parliament were up for grab in Sunday's voting after the first round held on Oct. 10.

In the first round, 70 of the 141 seats were distributed among the parties in proportion with the votes they got.

The Labor Party led with 28.6 percent of the vote and secured 23 seats, followed by the ruling Social Democrat/Social Liberal coalition with 20.66 percent.

Among the other 71 seats, which must be selected from constituencies, only five lawmakers won the ticket to the parliament in the first round, with each garnering more than 50 percent of the votes.

The Lithuanian legislative polls were the first since the country joined the European Union and NATO earlier this year.
