Romania will hold local and parliamentary elections: these will determine mayors, county council leaders, and Members of the European Parliament.
The outcome is also likely to give an indication of which party Romania’s next president will come from.
Romania is currently under an alliance of its two principal parties – PSD (Social Democrat Party) and PNL (National Liberal Party).
Newer contenders include The United Right, which is, a political alliance formed of three parties: Save Romania Union (USR), People’s Movement party (PMP), and Right Force (FD), and far-right nationalist party AUR, which was germinated in 2019 and quickly gained popularity.
Though many if not most middle-class, college-educated citizens have expressed a tendency to vote with the United Right, AUR is also the most popular party among young voters, despite younger generations typically being more progressive, reports Emerging Europe.
There are a few independent candidates, though none that have garnered significant public or media interest yet.
74% of Romanians say they will vote now, which represents an increase from 2019.
The older population, composed mostly of pensioners, who incidentally are the most likely to show up to the voting polls, tend towards PSD for security and social measures.
Before these elections, it is difficult to say who will rule Romania, but there is a good likelihood that one of the newer parties or alliance will gain power, given the population’s disillusionment with the lethargic coalition.
These votes will lead to 33 new members of the European Parliament (MEPs), 3,000 new mayors across Romania, 588 new members of the Romanian Parliament.
