Romania’s centre-right National Liberal Party, PNL, and the Democratic Liberal Party, PDL, on Saturday unanimously voted to combine their forces in order to create a party capable of taking on Prime Minister Victor Ponta's ruling centre-left coalition.

The executive board of the ruling Social Democratic Party, PSD, decided on Monday that Victor Ponta would be the party’s candidate for the presidential elections, and an official announcement is to be made by the end of this month.
