Antanas Guoga, a Lithuanian businessman and poker player, is reportedly planning to run for office in his home country of Lithuania as a candidate of the Liberal Movement party. If he is successful, Guoga will be the first known poker player to hold political office. Despite his lack of experience in politics, Guoga is likely to face little competition from other candidates in the race. He has already garnered support from influential members of the Lithuanian business community and has raised over $50,000 in campaign contributions.
