First deputy-chairperson of the National Liberal Party (PNL), Alina Gorghiu has been elected on Thursday as president of the old PNL, and she will also be co-chairperson of the new PNL.
The decision was taken by the National Political Bureau of the old PNL with 48 votes, after Klaus Iohannis has gave up his mandate of leader of this political formation and announced his resignation from the party, as a result of his being elected President of Romania in the November 16 runoff.
Alina Gorghiu will be interim chairwoman until the 2017 Congress, Agerpres reports.
For the old PNL's chairmanship also ran the first-deputy chairman Ludovic Orban, who got 27 votes.
