Audrius Petrošius

Audrius Petrošius was born on 4 May 1988 in the city of Klaipėda, Lithuania.

He has one child, a son named Matas.

Audrius Petrošius is unmarried and has one son.

He obtained a Master’s degree in Law from Vilnius University in 2015.

He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Klaipėda University in 2014.

He completed his secondary education at Klaipėda Vydūnas Gymnasium, graduating in 2007.

In 2020, he worked as a project manager at the Klaipėda Regional Waste Management Center.

In 2017–2018, Petrošius headed the Klaipėda branch of the bus company UAB "Kautra."

Between 2012 and 2016, he was the director of UAB "Samvik," a private company.

From 2011 to 2020 he was the director of UAB "Vežesta," a company in the transport sector.

In 2010, he served as the president of the Mykolas Romeris University Student Association.

Within the TS-LKD parliamentary faction, Petrošius has served as a Deputy Elder (deputy leader). He held this position from November 14, 2024 to September 17, 2025, and resumed it on October 7, 2025.

He has been serving as a Member of the Seimas in the current 14th Seimas (2024–2028 term), starting from November 14, 2024.

On February 3, 2024, Petrošius was elected as the chairman of the TS-LKD party’s Klaipėda city branch, succeeding Arvydas Pocius.

Audrius Petrošius became a Member of the Seimas (Lithuanian Parliament) in 2020, serving in the 13th Seimas (2020–2024 term).

He assumed his seat in the Seimas on 13 November 2020, the date of the first sitting of the 13th Parliament. From that day, his term as a Klaipėda City Council member ended, since Lithuanian law does not allow simultaneously holding a municipal council position and a seat in the Seimas.

After being elected to the Seimas in 2020, Audrius Petrošius relinquished his Klaipėda City Council seat, and Vidmantas Plečkaitis (from the "Vytautas Grubliauskas and Team" electoral committee) took over his council mandate.

From 2019 until 2020, Audrius Petrošius served as an elected member of the Klaipėda City Municipal Council.

He joined the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD) party and its Klaipėda City Council faction in late 2019.

In the current Seimas term, he is again a member of the Energy and Sustainable Development Commission (appointed on December 4, 2024).

In the 14th Seimas, he is serving as a member of the Seimas State Administration and Local Government Committee (since November 19, 2024).

During the 2020–2024 term in Seimas, he served as a member of the State Administration and Local Government Committee.

In the 2020–2024 Seimas, he was also a member of the Social Affairs and Labour Committee.

He was a member of the Seimas Energy and Sustainable Development Commission during the 2020–2024 parliamentary term.

In the 13th Seimas (2020–2024), he served as a member of the Youth and Sports Affairs Commission.

He was also a member of the Seimas Maritime Affairs Commission from 2020 to 2024.

In 2024, he was re-elected to the Seimas, again representing the Danė single-member electoral district in Klaipėda.

In 2024, he sought re-election in a different constituency – Klaipėda’s Danės district – and led the first round with 31.06% of the vote. Petrošius then won the runoff, securing 6,973 votes (54.5%), which was the largest vote count for any single-member winner in Klaipėda that year.

In the 2024 Seimas elections, Petrošius switched to Klaipėda’s Danė single-member constituency (No. 23) and was re-elected to parliament. He secured 6,973 votes in the runoff (54.5% of the vote) to defeat his opponent, thereby winning the Danė district seat.

In the March 2023 mayoral election in Klaipėda, Petrošius advanced to the runoff but lost to Arvydas Vaitkus, receiving 36.85% of the vote against Vaitkus’s 61.64%.

In the 2020 Seimas elections Audrius Petrošius was elected from Klaipėda’s Baltijos single-member constituency (No. 24), and in 2024 he won re-election in the Danės constituency (No. 23) after switching districts. In both cases he led the first round of voting and then secured victory in the runoff. (He also appeared on the TS-LKD national party list in those elections, but ultimately entered the Seimas via his single-mandate wins rather than through the list.)

In the 2020 Lithuanian parliamentary elections, Petrošius won the Danė single-member constituency, securing 52.29% of the vote in the runoff.

In the October 2020 parliamentary elections, Petrošius won a Seimas seat by capturing the Baltijos single-member constituency in Klaipėda. In the runoff, he defeated LVŽS candidate Mindaugas Bastakis with roughly 52.3% of the vote.

In the 2020 Lithuanian parliamentary elections, Petrošius ran in Klaipėda’s Baltijos single-member constituency (constituency No. 24) and won a seat in the Seimas. He led the first round with about 21.7% of the vote and then won the runoff with roughly 52% of votes, defeating LVŽS candidate Mindaugas Bastakis. (He also appeared on the TS-LKD national party list, but ultimately entered parliament by winning his district.)

In the 2019 municipal elections, he was elected to the Klaipėda City Council on Mayor Vytautas Grubliauskas’s electoral committee "Vytautas Grubliauskas and Team."

As a Member of the Seimas, Audrius Petrošius earns approximately €3,434 gross per month (about €2,077 net). This is the base salary for an MP in Lithuania. Because he has held a leadership role (TS-LKD parliamentary faction deputy chair), his monthly pay is slightly higher – around €3,752 gross (roughly €2,300 net) during that tenure.

By 2021, Petrošius’s asset declaration showed that he had acquired significant property but also incurred a large debt – he had taken out a €175,000 loan (presumably a mortgage). This loan substantially offset his total assets in his financial disclosure.

Audrius Petrošius’s declared assets place him in the mid-range among Lithuanian politicians. He has not appeared on lists of either the wealthiest or the poorest officials. As an unmarried individual (with no spouse’s property to declare), his asset disclosures consist solely of his own holdings, which include typical personal assets (such as a home and savings) and no unusually large liabilities.

Audrius Petrošius’s net worth experienced a notable shift around 2020–2021. After years of relatively low reported income and moderate savings, he suddenly declared a much higher asset value (largely a home) but also a hefty mortgage. In other words, his gross assets rose (due to real estate acquisition), but his net wealth remained moderate once the €175k debt was factored in.

Klaipėda City Council positions are essentially unpaid aside from symbolic stipends. During his 2019–2020 stint as a city councilor, Petrošius would have received only a very small allowance (on the order of a few tens of euros per meeting) – effectively volunteering his time.

Despite holding executive roles in private companies, Audrius Petrošius’s officially declared income for 2019 was modest – about €3,800 for the year, on which he paid only €45.26 in income tax.

He became a member of the Seimas group on cooperation with Honorary Consuls on November 20, 2025.

On September 12, 2025, he joined the interparliamentary relations group with Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, as a member.

He is a member of the Seimas "Green Municipalities 2030" parliamentary group, joining that group on June 16, 2025.

He is part of the Seimas “State Efficiency and Artificial Intelligence” group, joining it on May 15, 2025.

He joined the Seimas "Friends of Klaipėda Region" group on May 13, 2025, and is an active member of this caucus.

Since December 5, 2024, Petrošius has been a member of the Seimas “Žemaičių” (Samogitian) group, a cultural-regional caucus.

He serves as a member of the Lithuanian delegation to the Baltic Assembly, having been appointed on December 4, 2024.

Petrošius is a member of the "Friends of Neringa" parliamentary group, having joined on December 3, 2024.

He is a member of the Seimas’ interparliamentary relations group with the Republic of China (Taiwan), having joined on November 21, 2024.

In 2023, Petrošius asked the Seimas Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate a €220 million no-bid public transport contract by Klaipėda’s city government, questioning its legality and transparency.

Explaining his switch to TS-LKD in 2019, Petrošius stated it was a principled, value-based decision aligned with TS-LKD’s ideology.

While serving as director of UAB "Vežesta," Petrošius used a company-owned BMW automobile under a loan-for-use agreement (panaudos sutartis). He did not rent or own this car personally; the company provided it, and he only covered its insurance costs.

Besides his native Lithuanian, Audrius Petrošius is proficient in the English language.

His hobbies include fishing and basketball.
