The parties of the governing coalition will mostly have separate candidates in the mayoral races, while party switching remains an issue across the political spectrum.
The plan of the governing coalition, made up of the Social Democrat Party (PSD) and the National Liberal Party (PNL), to support common candidates in large cities that are now run by mayors from the Save Romania Union (USR) applies only to several cities although previous reports pointed to a wish for a wider shared electoral effort.
