Presidential elections will be held in Romania on 10 November 2019, with a possible second round on 24 November 2019. President Klaus Iohannis who was elected in 2014, is eligible for re-election.
Background
Klaus Iohannis won the last presidential election in 2014 and was sworn in for his first term on 21 December 2014. According to the Article 83 of the Constitution of Romania, the "term of office of the President of Romania is five years, being exercised from the date the oath was taken,"[1] but only for up to two terms. In June 2018, incumbent president Iohannis publicly announced his intention of running for a second term as state president.[2] The electoral calendar for the forthcoming presidential election will be set by the Romanian Government.
Candidates
National Liberal Party
President Klaus Iohannis is eligible for re-election. His candidacy in the 2014 elections was supported by the National Liberal Party (PNL), whose President he was at that time. Upon taking office as president, Iohannis suspended his PNL membership, as the Constitution does not allow the president to be a formal member of a political party during his term. Ludovic Orban, the president of the PNL, reconfirmed the party's support for Iohannis after the elections.[3] On 11 March 2018, the National Council of PNL formally endorsed Klaus Iohannis for a new term as president.[4]
Social Democratic Party
Liviu Pleșoianu, a member of the Chamber of Deputies for Bucharest since 2016 for the Social Democratic Party (PSD), declared his candidacy on 23 July 2017.[5] Liviu Dragnea, President of the Chamber of Deputies since 2016,[6][7] and Gabriela Firea, Mayor of Bucharest since 2016, are thought to be other potential PSD candidates.[8] However, both have refuted these media speculations, Firea stating she wants to finish her term as mayor, while Liviu Dragnea rejected the idea and stated he and the PSD concentrate on the governing program and the parliamentary agenda, as Dragnea is President of the Chamber of Deputies. After being convicted on corruption charges on 27 May 2019, Dragnea became ineligible to run for president.[9]
Save Romania Union and PLUS Alliance
Nicușor Dan, a former President of the Save Romania Union (USR), the third largest political party in the country, believes that the party should run its own candidate for the elections.[10] Dan Barna, the new President of the USR, stated in an interview with Adevărul that the USR would have a presidential candidate, decided by a vote within the party. Barna also said that "Dacian Cioloș may be an option, like any well-known person".[11]
Former Minister of Labor in Cioloș Government, Dragoș Pîslaru, who is among the founders of the new party of former Prime Minister, the PLUS+, said the party is ready for a possible candidacy for the presidency of leader Dacian Cioloș.[12] He also stressed that a candidacy of President Iohannis for a new term would not exclude a candidacy of Dacian Cioloș.[12] On 8 June 2018, Cioloș said he will not run against Klaus Iohannis.[13] However he subsequently stated that he would assume any responsibility that his recently founded political party (PLUS+) would bestow upon him, not excluding the presidency.[14]
In the aftermath of the results of the 2019 European Parliament elections, USR and PLUS decided to keep their alliance for the presidential elections, and nominated Dan Barna as joint candidate.
Other parties
Many voices inside ALDE suggested that Călin Popescu Tăriceanu, the party leader and President of the Senate, should be the proposal of the PSD–ALDE coalition for the upcoming election and asked for PSD support in this regard.[15] Tăriceanu himself considered that the best option for the presidential election is a PSD–ALDE joint candidacy.[16] On 24 July 2019, ALDE announced that Tăriceanu would run for president on its ticket.[17]
In a press conference on 26 October 2017, Victor Ponta, a former Prime Minister and runner-up in the 2014 elections, claimed that his newly established party, Pro Romania, would nominate a candidate in the elections, but denied that he would run for the presidency again.[18]
On 25 August 2019 Theodor Paleologu was designated candidate of the People's Movement Party.[19]
On 7 July 2019 Ramona Ioana Bruynseels launched her candidacy.[20] The announcement was met with surprise and intrigue from political commentators.[21] Bruynseels has set her platform on taking on the broken political system in Romania that she argues is working against the interests of citizens.[22] Bruynseels is a centrist politician and the candidate of the Humanist Power Party. The party is controlled from behind the scenes by Romanian mogul and Securitate collaborator Dan Voiculescu.[23]
