The PSD has validated Daniel Băluță as a candidate for the Capital City Hall, and he is set to take over the leadership of the PSD Bucharest organization.

The Social Democratic Party has officially validated Daniel Băluță's candidacy for the General Mayor of the Capital for the elections on December 7, with the mayor of Sector 4 set to also take over the leadership of PSD Bucharest from Gabriela Firea. The decision was adopted unanimously in the party leadership meeting.
