Mantas Poškus is a Member of the Seimas (Lithuanian Parliament) since November 14, 2024.

„Member of the Seimas from 11/14/2024“

He has been a member of the "Nemuno aušra" parliamentary group (faction) in the Seimas since November 14, 2024.

„11/14/2024 | Nemunas Dawn Political Group, Member“

From 2014 to 2023, he was a member of the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats (Tėvynės sąjunga – Lietuvos krikščionys demokratai) party.

„Von 2014 bis 2023 war er Mitglied von Tėvynės sąjunga - Lietuvos krikščionys demokratai.“

After the 2024 elections, Mantas Poškus’s party "Nemuno aušra" entered a coalition government with the Social Democrats and Farmers and Greens Union. Poškus thus became part of the ruling majority in the Seimas – the coalition controls 82 seats, of which "Nemuno aušra" holds 19.

„Naujoji valdančioji dauguma parlamente turės 82 atstovus. Joje, kaip ir buvusioje, daugumą – 52 atstovus – turės Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija, 19 narių priklauso „Nemuno aušrai“, 11 – Lietuvos valstiečių, žaliųjų...“

Mantas Poškus became the Deputy Chair of the Seimas Youth and Sport Affairs Commission on June 4, 2025.

„06/04/2025 | Commission for Youth and Sport Affairs, Deputy Chair“

He was elected to the Seimas in 2024 via the party list of the newly formed party "Nemuno aušra".

„Seimo narys 2024–2028 m. kadencijoje. Į Seimą jis pateko su partija „Nemuno aušra““

In the 2024 parliamentary elections, he was a candidate nominated by the political party "Nemuno aušra" and won a seat from the party list.

„Nominated by: Politinė partija „Nemuno Aušra“ – Elected: By list“

In the 2024 Seimas elections, the "Nemuno aušra" party won about 15% of the national vote and secured 14 parliamentary mandates. Mantas Poškus was among those elected via the party’s multi-member list; he did not win a single-member constituency race, so his mandate came entirely from the list (supported by preferential votes).

„Beveik 15 proc. rinkėjų atidavė savo balsus už trečioje vietoje rinkimų rezultatų lentelėje esančią partiją „Nemuno aušra“, kuri pelnė 14 mandatų, skelbia VRK“

Mantas Poškus did not win a single-member constituency seat in 2024; he entered the Seimas via the multi-member national list. He was nominated by the party "Nemuno aušra" and secured a mandate through the party list (benefiting from preferential votes), rather than an individual district victory.

„Iškėlė: Politinė partija „Nemuno Aušra“ – Išrinktas: Pagal sąrašą (Nominated by: "Nemuno Aušra" party – Elected: By list)“

Poškus’s early career as a physical education teacher (1999–2004) was modestly paid; in the early 2000s, teachers in Lithuania earned only a few hundred euros per month on average (net), reflecting the low public-sector salaries of that period (estimated).

„..., Valstybės duomenų agentūros duomenys rodo, kad mokytojai Lietuvoje per mėnesį vidutiniškai uždirbo 2209,6 euro (1360,4 euro „į rankas“). )“

No significant personal wealth changes have been noted for Mantas Poškus in the past decade. His asset declarations (as a new MP) do not show any unusual accumulations or large liabilities, consistent with his long career as a teacher and local civil servant. There are no public reports of unexplained increases in his net worth.

„Valdančiajai koalicijai priklausanti partija „Nemuno aušra“ per Seimo rinkimus priėmė aukų iš trijų juridinių asmenų, nuslėpė dalį išlaidų,... VRK... nepripažino šiurkštaus pažeidimo. (Party financing issues noted, but no mention of individual enrichment)“

Unlike some of his colleagues, Poškus did not declare significant personal wealth. In his 2024 candidate asset declaration, he reported only modest assets and income – nothing approaching the millions that the richest newly elected MPs have. (For comparison, the wealthiest "Nemuno aušra" candidate, Dainoras Bradauskas, declared about €3.2 million in assets, whereas Poškus’s assets were minimal, consistent with a career civil servant.)

„The richest member of the Seimas will be Dainoras Bradauskas... elected in the multi-mandate district... He stated in the CEC questionnaire that he has about 3.2 million euro assets. (By contrast, Poškus had no such extensive assets listed, indicating a much lower net worth.)“

There have been no notable spikes or unexplained changes in Poškus’s wealth over the past decade. His financial growth has mirrored his public-sector career path, with no media reports of sudden increases in assets or income. His transparency in financial declarations aligns with the absence of any personal finance controversies.

„Valdančiajai koalicijai priklausanti partija „Nemuno aušra“ per Seimo rinkimus priėmė aukų iš trijų juridinių asmenų, nuslėpė dalį išlaidų,... VRK... nepripažino šiurkštaus pažeidimo. (**No mention of Poškus’s personal wealth in reports**)“

In February 2025, the VRK (Central Electoral Commission) found that "Nemuno aušra" had used improper membership donations to finance part of its 2024 election campaign. The party (led by Remigijus Žemaitaitis) was ordered to repay about €4,200 to the state budget for these violations. This issue was at the party level; Poškus himself was not implicated in any personal financial wrongdoing.

„Dėl šių pažeidimų VRK įpareigojo „aušriečius“ į valstybės biudžetą grąžinti panaudotų nepriimtinų nario mokesčių sumą – per 4,2 tūkst. eurų. Tai partija turi padaryti per 20 darbo dienų nuo VRK sprendimo.“
