In that run-off election, Kižienė received 8,244 votes (53.61%) against Jonas Pinskus’s 6,496 votes (42.24%).
Kižienė was elected to the Seimas in 2024, winning the single-member Deltuvos pietinė (Ukmergė–Širvintos) constituency.
In the first round of the 2024 parliamentary elections (October 13, 2024), Kižienė placed second in the Deltuvos pietinė single-member constituency, receiving 2,736 votes (14.54%) – trailing Jonas Pinskus, who led with 5,634 votes (29.93%).
She was ranked 17th on the LSDP’s nationwide candidate list for the 2024 parliamentary elections.
Kižienė’s 2024 win in the Deltuvos pietinė constituency flipped that seat from the Farmers and Greens to the Social Democrats – it had been held by Juozas Varžgalys (LVŽS) in 2020–2024. Because she prevailed in the single-member district, Kižienė took her Seimas mandate via the constituency (not via the LSDP’s party list, where she was listed 17th).
