Two managers from the private business sector and a city mayor are on the national Liberal Party's list of possible alternative prime ministers, should the no-confidence motion pass the Parliament next week. Stere Farmache, president of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE- BVB), Mariana Gheorghe, executive general manager of oil and gas company Petrom (in picture) and Klaus Johannis, the Sibiu mayor are on PNL's list of candidates for the PM seat, according to Romanian media quoting sources within the Liberal Party.

Johannis' name is not for the first time on the candidates list for the PM position. He was also mentioned the same time last year, when the then Government was dismissed through a no-confidence motion.

Opposition parties have submitted a no-confidence motion, which was already read in the Romanian Parliament and which will be voted on October 27.
