Local by-elections
The ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) won the second round of local by-elections, Romanian Radio reported on 19 May. The party won the first round one week earlier.
New mayors
Public Administration Minister Octav Cozmanca, a PSD member, said that in the two rounds combined the PSD won 16 mayoral positions, the Hungarian Democratic Federation of Romania four, and the Democratic Party and the Humanist Party one post each.

High turnout
Turnout for the second round was 60 percent, which is "absolutely remarkable" for local by-elections, according to Cozmanca. |
