PSD and PNL, expected to make a decision regarding the Capital City Hall
PNL President Nicolae Ciucă announced that today he is waiting for the results of the polls made by PNL and PSD for the designation of the common candidate for the Capital City Hall, mentioning that the decision will be taken in the coalition, after the analysis of these polls.
“We did not succeed in nominating one candidate or another (for the Capital City Hall – n.r.) because we agreed together to find out who are the most suitable people. At the moment the polls are nearing the end. We polled Sebastian Burduja and Ionuţ Lupescu. PSD know for sure that they nominated Mrs. Gabriela Firea and I think the mayor from sector 4 (Daniel Băluţă – n.r.)”, declared Nicolae Ciucă on Sunday, at Prima News.
He also stated that the final results of the polls will come on Monday, and the candidate for the Capital City Hall will be appointed after the analysis of these polls.
