Romania's parliament, elected in December 2024 for a term through 2028, faces ongoing deadlock after Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's pro-EU coalition government fell to a no-confidence vote in May 2026. President Nicușor Dan has nominated successive prime minister-designates, but both attempts failed to secure the required majority in parliament amid fragmentation and shifting alliances, including between the Social Democrats and far-right parties. Under the constitution, the president may dissolve parliament and call early elections after two unsuccessful confidence votes within 60 days, though this step is discretionary and limited to once per year. Persistent failure to form a stable government has raised risks to EU recovery funding and fiscal stability, with the Social Democrats publicly floating dissolution as one option. No snap election has occurred, and scheduled parliamentary elections remain set for late 2028 absent further developments.
