The ruling National Liberal Party (PNL) is second, with 25.57%, followed by the USR-PLUS alliance, with a score of 15.51%. The PNL can still form a ruling coalition with USR-PLUS and the Democrat Hungarian Union (UDMR), which got close to 6% of the votes, according to Romania-Insider.com.
The big surprise of these elections is the Alliance for Romanians’ Union (AUR), a relatively unknown party, which obtained a score of 9% with a unionistic, ultra-nationalistic, ultra-Orthodox doctrine.
