Lithuania gets first woman leader

Dalia Grybauskaite, the European Union budget commissioner, has been elected Lithuania's first female president, BBC reported.
With all ballots counted, she won 68.17% of the votes. Turnout at 51.7% was just above the threshold needed to give her an outright first round win.

Her nearest challenger, Social Democrat lawmaker Algirdas Butkevicius came a distant second with 12% of the vote.
