"After the documentation of the Lithuanian People's Party were found in line with the law, the founders have to register the party in the register of legal entities," the ministry said in a press release.

Meanwhile, documentation submitted by Brazauskienė's Democratic Labor and Unity Party and Party of Emigrants of Juozas Murauskas, a driver from Kaunas, have been found to incomplete. According to the press release, provisions of their bylaws and procedures of formation of governing bodies run counter to Lithuanian laws.

After the ministry rejected the documents, the two parties may improve them and submit the papers again after repeated constituent assemblies.
