The Lithuanian Peasants Party (Lithuanian: Lietuvos valstiečių partija, LVP) was a political party in Lithuania.

## History

[edit]

The party was established in 1990 as the Lithuanian Peasants Union, before becoming the Lithuanian Peasants Party in 1994.[1] It won a single seat in the 1992 elections and managed to retain the seat in 1996 elections.

In 1998 the second seat in Seimas was gained after independent MP Ramūnas Karbauskis joined the party and became its chairman. Four seats were gaine in the 2000 elections.

In 2001 the party merged with the New Democracy Party to form the Union of Peasants and New Democracy Parties.[2]
