Saulius Skvernelis is not the PM since November 22
As of December 1, the PM is still Algirdas Butkevičius. The Skvernelis Cabinet has not been inaugurated yet.--Zarateman (talk) 19:05, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's complicated. PM is appointed by the President and that has happened on 22 November. There is no need for his cabinet to be inaugurated for that. Thus he's a PM from 22 November. However, the cabinet, including the PM does not start actual work until after the cabinet has it's program approved by the Seimas. That has not happened yet, thus he's not the acting PM. Until that happens, Butkevicius is the acting PM, having resigned as PM and been appointed as the acting PM. No longer a penguin (talk) 19:38, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Right now, the web of the Lithuanian PM is showing Buktevicius as the incumbent PM, not merely the acting PM. The new Cabinet will take office after its programme is approved by the Seimas and the ministers are sworn in. As I see it, Skvernelis is not anyway the PM. By the moment, he is only a PM-designate to all effects. Be sure that date, November 22, will be corrected soon in the article --Zarateman (talk) 20:36, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The web of the Lithuanian PM can show Butkevicius as the King of Lithuania, he's still only going to be the acting PM. However, I don't mind calling Skvernelis PM-designate, since that actually reflects his situation and it's what Lithuanian sources seem to call him.

I insist: obviously, Saulius Skvernelis IS NOT the incumbent PM yet
As of today, December 6, the Lithuanian press is referring to Skvernelis as "PM-designate". He still has to receive the parliamentary aproval for his Government program before being istalled in office. I can't understand why Wikipedia persists in a wrong date that will certainly be corrected.--Zarateman (talk) 13:33, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've already said that I don't mind calling him PM-designate, even if his position does not 100% the definition. The fact is that he has been appointed as the PM, and somesources refer to him as the new PM, not designate, but you correctly indicate that he does not yet have an authority to act as the head of government. Butkevicius is the acting PM for now. Feel free to change his position to PM-designate, but he was still appointed to that position on 22 November.

There are zero sources, as far as I can see, that state he's a member of the Peasant and Greens. He's a member of the Peasant and Greens political group (frakcija) in the Seimas, but that contains a lot of people who are not members of that party and even are members of other parties. There are sources, on the other hand, that state he has no plans of joining the Peasant and Greens party: Example. No longer a penguin (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the net worth parameter from the infobox, as the parameter has now been deprecated. If anyone wants to add that content elsewhere in the article, you can find what I removed in this edit.Firefangledfeathers (talk) 03:29, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
