The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, announced on Friday that he will not resign and will not run for parliamentary elections in December, regardless of the BEC’s decision. Previously, discussions about his possible candidacy sparked numerous public debates and strained relations in the coalition.
“As I have stated on several occasions, I will finish my mandate as President of Romania on time and I will not resign from my position. I will not run in the parliamentary elections in December, regardless of the decision that the Central Electoral Bureau will adopt today. I did not and do not support the amendment of the electoral legislation in favor of a single person”, announced Iohannis on Facebook.
