As of 2026-11-05, Romania is governed by a minority coalition led by independent Prime Minister Luca Niculescu with PSD support, which took office on 2026-10-20 after a 169-day deadlock. Niculescu serves primarily as a mediator between PSD ministers, President Nicușor Dan's appointees, and PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu, while the far-right AUR has secured parliamentary leadership roles and former PNL leader Valeriu Stoica predicted on 2026-11-02 that AUR could become the dominant political force.
