Lithuanian election officials have held up a bid by former President Rolandas Paksas to stand for office again just months after being impeached. The head of the Central Electoral Commission "acknowledged that Paksas's registration might pose certain problems".
The Liberal Democrat Party chose Rolandas Paksas as its candidate for the 13 June election at the weekend and his name was given to the election commission but commission chief Zenonas Vaigauskas referred the issue to the future EU state's ethics commission.
Rolandas Paksas has accused his political foes of waging a "vendetta".
