Lithuanian voters clearly love Dalia Grybauskaite, the independent candidate who took at least 70% of the vote over the weekend, thus making her the nation’s first female president.

Grybauskaite, the European Union’s budget commissioner, will take over power in July, and has already been congratulated by President Valdas Adamkus, who said, "I am greatly delighted that the people of Lithuania demonstrated strong political will and elected the new president of Lithuania in the first round." There are typically two rounds of votes in Lithuania, but a strong turnout of more than 50% of voters sealed the deal.

Grybauskaite, who is 52 years old and single, has long-battled rumors that she’s a lesbian, but denied the charges definitively earlier this year, telling reporters, "If you are asking whether I am a lesbian, then no, I am not."
