BUCHAREST: Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Friday named social-democrat Sorin Grindeanu as the nation’s new prime minister, bringing to a close weeks of uncertainty since the left won a parliamentary vote on December 11.
The centre-right president has signed a decree naming Grindeanu, a 43-year-old former communications minister, as the new premier.
Grindeanu now faces a confidence vote in parliament on his programme and cabinet nominees.
