Dominic Fritz, the interim president of the Save Romania Union (USR), has won the party’s internal leadership elections.

He received 62% of the votes (7,312 votes).

A total of nine candidates ran in the race, including Senator Violeta Alexandru.

The elections took place over the past three days, with the president being elected by direct and secret vote, cast through a secure electronic platform by all party members.

The official validation of the new president will take place at the USR Congress on June 21.

The former USR president, Elena Lasconi, resigned at the beginning of May.
