Bolojan has remained Romania's caretaker prime minister since his coalition government lost a no-confidence vote on May 5, 2026, by 281-4 after the Social Democrats withdrew support and aligned with opposition parties. He continues in a limited interim capacity while parliament seeks a successor. President Nicușor Dan has conducted party consultations to form a new cabinet, explicitly avoiding early elections amid strong polling for the far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians. Negotiations among pro-EU moderate parties have produced no agreement as of mid-August, leaving the timeline for Bolojan's departure dependent on coalition talks, parliamentary approval procedures, and avoidance of fiscal or institutional instability that could delay resolution.
