Head of state
SourcedNicușor Dan
President of Romania · 26 May 2025 – present[3]
Caretaker government: the Bolojan cabinet was dismissed by a motion of censure on 5 May 2026 and governs on an interim basis while a new government is formed; Prime Minister-designate Luca Niculescu was named on 5 October 2026 and had not faced a confidence vote by 13 October. The six portfolios vacated by PSD ministers in April 2026 (Justice, Labour, Transport, Energy, Agriculture, Health) were given to interim ministers whose 45-day constitutional limit expired on 8 June 2026 (Puterea); who lawfully leads them is contested, so they are not listed. The Romanian government and presidency portals were unavailable (HTTP 503) on 13 October 2026, so the record is sourced rather than verified.
