Former MEP Vlad Gheorghe withdraws from the race for the Bucharest City Hall and will announce support for the PNL candidate, Ciprian Ciucu

Vlad Gheorghe, former MEP and independent candidate for the Bucharest City Hall, will announce on December 2 that he is withdrawing from the competition. G4Media sources indicate that he will express his support for Ciprian Ciucu, the PNL candidate. Gheorghe, a close associate of President Nicușor Dan, was active in the electoral campaign and was part of the USR volunteer team.

With a degree in Law and a master's in Tax Law, he entered politics in 2015 and reached the European Parliament on the USR PLUS lists. After resigning from USR in 2024, he tried to obtain a new mandate as an MEP, but was unsuccessful. In the context of the elections for the General City Hall, recent polls show a tight competition among candidates, with Ciprian Ciucu in the lead.
