Incumbent President

Klaus Iohannis
Independent



Presidential elections will be held in Romania on 15 September 2024, with a possible second round to be held on 29 September if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote.[1][2] They will be the ninth presidential elections held in post-1989 Romania. As the Romanian Constitution allows a maximum of two presidential terms (consecutive or not), incumbent President of Romania Klaus Iohannis, first elected in 2014 and then re-elected in 2019, is not eligible for re-election. His second (and last) term will formally end in December 2024.

Nevertheless, there was a speculation according to which the forthcoming Romanian presidential elections might have occurred earlier than to term, assuming that incumbent President Klaus Iohannis would have been nominated as Secretary General of NATO and that he would have accepted the nomination in the meantime, then the next Romanian presidential elections would have likely taken place in 2023 instead of 2024.[3] However, this is not possible as incumbent Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, will remain in this international position for one more year, until the end of his term scheduled to take place in October 2024.[4]
