Mihai Godea will not take part in presidential elections

Unaffiliated MP Mihai Godea will not participate in the March 16 presidential elections. He will make public the reasons before the March 15 sitting of Parliament, Info-Prim Neo reports. The decision was taken during an extraordinary meeting of the administration of the Democratic Action Party on March 14. It considered whether to support presidential candidate Nicolae Timofti or not. The only candidate running in the elections - Nicolae Timofti – needs 61 votes of MP to be elected. The 58 lawmakers of the ruling alliance signed in support of the candidate. The group of Socialists that consists of three MPs has not announced its decision yet. The Communist parliamentary group boycotts the sittings of Parliament.
