In the 2020 parliamentary elections, Narkevič was listed 7th on the LLRA-KŠS party list, but the party fell short of the 5% threshold (earning only ~4.8% of votes). Consequently, he lost his seat as LLRA-KŠS did not secure any representation in the Seimas that term.

Turtas ir pajamos 6
As a school teacher in the 1980s–1990s, Narkevič earned a modest salary (e.g., in 2004 the average teacher’s monthly pay was about 1,319 LTL gross, roughly €380). Earlier in 2000, a teacher’s salary was lower (~800–1,000 LTL per month, estimated).
„2004 metais mokytojo vidutinis atlyginimas, neatskaičiavus mokesčių, siekė 1319 Lt, o 2007 metais mokytojas vidutiniškai uždirba 1792 Lt“
While serving as Head of the Education Division in Vilnius District Municipality (2001–2007), his position as a municipal department chief likely came with a salary slightly above a teacher’s (around 1,500–2,000 LTL monthly by the mid-2000s, estimated).
„2007 metais mokytojas vidutiniškai uždirba 1792 Lt“
During his tenure as Minister of Transport and Communications (2019–2020), his monthly salary was about €3,758 gross (approximately €2,700 net) according to averages for ministers.
„ministrų vadovų vidutinė mėnesio alga (2015 m. I, II ketvirčiai) siekia 3 758 Eur (apie 12 976 Lt)“
In 2012, Narkevič declared that he and his wife deposited about 1.5 million LTL (approximately €439,000) into bank accounts. He has not publicly explained the origin of these funds, which later drew scrutiny from authorities.
„J. Narkevičius deklaruoja, kad 2012 m. … kartu su žmona į bankus padėjo 439 tūkst. eurų (1,5 mln. litų). Kokie aitvarai sunešė turtus, ministras paaiškinti atsisako“
The State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) opened an investigation into Narkevič’s family wealth, analyzing the sources of his assets. The review was prompted by significant deposits and property holdings that appeared disproportionate to declared income.
„Narkevičių šeimos turtus šiuo metu analizuoja Valstybinė mokesčių inspekcija“
Narkevič’s wife (I. Narkevič) declared holding approximately €105,000 worth of Lithuanian government bonds in 2015. This indicates a substantial investment made by the family that year in state securities.
