Version 0 of 1.

Lithuania’s president vetoed a proposed coalition government on Monday, saying that one of the three parties involved stood accused of serious voter fraud in a weekend election and was therefore unfit to govern. President Dalia Grybauskaite’s surprise intervention cast a cloud of uncertainty over the aftermath of the election, setting up a possible standoff or new talks on forming a different government. The election put center-left parties promising to ease the impact of austerity measures in a position to form a new coalition.
