In which other localities are there elections on December 7 / What Marcel Ciolacu says about a candidacy in Buzău

Partial local elections will be held not only in Bucharest on December 7, but also in 11 other localities in the country, where the position of mayor or president of the County Council (CJ) has remained vacant, either because the mayor resigned, lost his mandate or died.

On December 7, not only the citizens of Bucharest will go to the polls, but also the residents of 10 communes and Buzau County, where the position of president of the County Council remained vacant after Lucian Romașcanu was appointed a member of the European Court of Auditors.

At the end of July, PSD Buzău president, deputy Romeo Lungu, told Agerpres that there are discussions for the former PSD leader, Marcel Ciolacu, to run for the County Council.

The leaders of the coalition decided that the local partial elections will be organized on December 7, and the Government Decision that will formalize the decision is to be adopted in the Executive meeting on Thursday.

When will a decision be made regarding Ciolacu's candidacy to CJ Buzău

Contacted by HotNews on Tuesday about his possible candidacy, Marcel Ciolacu said that the decision will be made on Friday, when a county conference of the Buzău PSD organization will take place.

On the other hand, political sources told HotNews that Marcel Ciolacu will be the candidate for the presidency of the County Council.

Although Ciolacu will be the nominated candidate, there is no final decision yet, because the Government Decision on the organization of the elections is awaited: “Anything can happen until then”.
