Lithuanians have returned to the polls for the second round of the Baltic country’s presidential election as incumbent Gitanas Nauseda seeks to hold off Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte and secure another five-year term.

Mr Nauseda, 60, a moderate conservative, has been a strong backer of Ukraine, a position shared across most of the political spectrum.
