Nicolae Ciucă, the former army general turned prime minister, wants to become chairman of his party, the National Liberal Party (PNL, a member of EPP), a couple of years after he entered politics.

He is, for now, the only candidate for the presidency of the centre-right party, which will elect its new leadership at an extraordinary congress on Sunday (10 April) following the resignation last weekend of the party’s former president, ex-prime minister Florin Cîțu. He was elected chief of PNL just six months ago.
