President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis: I will not run for the parliamentary elections in December

The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, will not run in the December elections for the future Legislative, reports Agerpres.

"As I said on several occasions, I will finish my mandate as president of Romania on time and I will not resign from my position. I will not run in the parliamentary elections in December, regardless of the decision that the Central Electoral Bureau will adopt today. I did not support and do not support the amendment of the electoral legislation in favor of a single person", said the head of the Romanian state.

Iohannis said on Wednesday in New York about the amendment to the law that would have allowed him to run for the Senate that he did not want a law for him and that he would make sure that it did not exist.

"I did not want a law for myself, I do not 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 I have expressed myself 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.

The Central Electoral Office shall, on Friday, give a point of view in the case of the request of the liberals regarding the candidacy of the head of state in the parliamentary elections.

PNL parliamentarians Daniel Fenechiu and Gabriel Andronache submitted last week, to the Parliament, a legislative proposal that provides that the president of Romania can run, in the last three months of the mandate, as an independent on the lists of a party or alliance in the parliamentary elections. The project amends article 52 of the law on the election of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
