About this election
How the country is governed
Romania's directly elected president serves a five-year term under a two-round majority system and holds significant sway over foreign and security policy and the choice of prime minister, while governing power rests with a cabinet answerable to Parliament. The 2025 contest was extraordinary precisely because it existed at all: it was convened after the Constitutional Court annulled the 2024 election over alleged foreign interference, and it unfolded amid acute political instability, including the resignation of Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu after the governing coalition's candidate failed to reach the run-off.
