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

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

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.

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

In May 2025, he joined the Seimas Youth and Sport Affairs Commission, and was shortly after elected as its Deputy Chair.

He served as a member of the Seimas Commission for the Rights of People with Disabilities from December 4, 2024 to April 9, 2025.

Since November 19, 2024, Mantas Poškus has been a member of the Seimas Committee on Education and Science.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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).

He is a member of the Seimas Interparliamentary Relations Group with the Hellenic Republic (Greece) since December 19, 2024.

Since December 12, 2024, he is a member of the Seimas Interparliamentary Relations Group with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

He is also a member of the Interparliamentary Relations Group with the Republic of Latvia, joining it on December 12, 2024.

On November 21, 2024, Mantas Poškus joined the Seimas Provisional Group of Friends of Šiauliai Region.
