Luca Niculescu was appointed prime minister by Nicușor Dan

President Nicușor Dan appointed Luca Niculescu on Monday evening to form a government, five months after Ilie Bolojan’s cabinet was brought down by a no-confidence motion on May 5. Niculescu will have 10 days to negotiate parliamentary support for his government and its governing program. Subsequently, he will have to appear before Parliament for the investiture vote, requiring 233 votes from a majority of senators and deputies to be sworn into office.
