There is also Rareş Hopincă in Sector 2, there is also Robert Negoiţă in Sector 3, Daniel Băluţă in Sector 4, there is also Gabi Firea. There is also Florin Manole, who is the minister and president of Sector 1. We have enough options.

The elections for the Capital City Hall, on December 7. Names of candidates circulated
On Thursday, the government adopted the decision that officially establishes that the partial local elections in Bucharest will take place on December 7. The agreement between PNL, PSD and USR was that each party would support its own candidate, as the social democrats demanded. As in the 2024 local elections, the parties in power agreed not to attack each other in the campaign, so as not to affect governance.

So far, no team has officially designated their candidate. USR supports Cătălin Drula. It is expected that USR Bucharest will nominate him as a candidate next week.
At PNL, among the names circulated are Ciprian Ciucu, the mayor of Sector 6, and Stelian Bujduveanu, who became interim mayor of the Capital after the resignation of Nicușor Dan.
AUR leader George Simion said the party would choose “the person who has a chance to win, we are fighting for the Capital City Hall and we will use all our resources.” Simion declared that he will not run for the position of general mayor “because this role does not suit me. We have candidates that we can support who also fit this role of mayor of Bucharest”.
