October 28, 2024

President Klaus Iohannis announced on Friday that he will not run for the December elections for the future Legislature."As I have stated on several occasions, I will end my mandate as president of Romania on time and I will not resign from my position. I will not run for the parliamentary elections in December, regardless of the decision that the Central Electoral Bureau will adopt today. No I supported and do not support the amendment of the electoral legislation in favor of a single person," said the head of state.Iohannis said on Wednesday, in New York, about the amendment of the law that would have allowed him to run for the Senate, that he did not want a law for him and that he will make sure that it does not exist."I didn't want a law for myself, I don't want a law for myself and I can tell you with certainty that I will make sure that this law does not exist. It is not possible to make a law for a person and then I think that I- I expressed it very clearly. In short, this law will not exist and I do not want it to exist", he assured in a statement given to journalists on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
