Calin Georgescu has officially announced his candidacy for the presidency of Romania, following the annulment of the previous year’s presidential election. This announcement was confirmed by the Agerpres news agency on March 7. Romania’s Constitutional Court had recently annulled the elections, impacting the political dynamics in the country, in which Georgescu was a leading candidate who advanced to the runoff.
The ruling coalition has scheduled the first round of the presidential elections for May 4, 2025, with a potential runoff on May 18. Georgescu, who is supported by the Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) leader George Simion and Young People’s Party (POT) president Anamaria Gavrila, has gathered a significant backing of 324,000 signatures for his campaign.
In addition to Georgescu, Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan has also filed his candidacy, backed by the People’s Movement Party (PMP) and Right Force. Furthermore, another contender, Crin Antonescu, affiliated with the PSD-PNL-UDMR coalition, is anticipated to announce his presidential candidacy on Sunday.
Calin Georgescu’s official entry into the presidential race marks a significant moment in Romanian politics, particularly in light of last year’s election annulment. With the first round of voting set for May 4, 2025, and other notable candidates like Nicusor Dan and Crin Antonescu also in the mix, the upcoming elections promise to be a pivotal event in shaping Romania’s political future.
