CURS exit poll results for the 2024 parliamentary elections, valid for 21:00hrs:

The Diaspora will also gather 8% of the votes on this day, which are missing from the above estimates. And the exit polls on Saturday overestimated the PSD candidate by over 10%.

Marcel Ciolacu was cautious and said that “I understood the signal” and that he would not make any more statements until the votes are counted.

Marcel Ciolacu, the outgoing president of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), declared, after the exit poll results from the parliamentary elections were released, that the Romanian vote “is an important signal” to develop the country through investments with European money. “I understand the responsibility we have towards Romania. I believe that we all need to look at today’s result. It is an important signal that the Romanians have sent to the political class. Basically, let’s continue to develop the country with European money, but at the same time protect our identity, national values ​​and faith. We need to focus on counting every vote in every polling station correctly,” Ciolacu declared at the PSD headquarters.

“I personally will not make any more statements until the last vote of the Romanians is counted,” he added.

USR President Elena Lasconi also urged patience to see the final results, stating that discussions with other parties regarding her possible support in the second round of the presidential elections and the formation of a governing coalition will only begin tomorrow, after the results of the official count are known. “May God bless Romania in the European Union and in NATO. From what I saw in this exit poll, I think the wisest thing, since we already have an experience that we have gone through, the wisest thing would be to wait for tomorrow’s count,” said Elena Lasconi, after the exit poll results were announced. “Today I was in Câmpulung and many people hugged me and cried, saying that they are very worried about what is happening in the country (…) If we are united, we can do miracles, the Russian bots on TikTok cannot destroy our democracy,” continued the USR leader.

“From what I saw in this exit poll, I think the wisest thing – that we already have an experience that we have gone through – the wisest thing would be to wait for tomorrow’s count. (…) We, united, can do miracles! If we are united, the Russian bots on TikTok have no way of destroying our democracy, that’s for sure! They have no way of doing this! We have not forgotten their tanks when they occupied our country and we have not forgotten how much suffering they brought. I understand what is happening in society, I understand the anger, I understand the frustrations and that is precisely why I am here now. This is the result that the old politicians have achieved for 35 years. They created their system that has now angered the Romanian people. I think we really need to make a change and recreate the political elite and also, very importantly, give more credit to the intellectual and cultural elite in this country”, added Lasconi.

The interim president of the PNL, Ilie Bolojan, stated on Sunday evening, after the announcement of the exit polls for the parliamentary elections, that the results of the vote show that it will be “a fragmented Parliament, with several parties”, and the issue of a governing coalition will inevitably arise. “The PNL is willing to participate in such a coalition, so that we can be a factor of modernization for our country”, said Bolojan. “I should like to thank all the Romanians who showed up to vote today, because as you know, there was a record number in the parliamentary elections, which shows the interest of Romanians in the future of our country. I thank those who voted for us in these elections. As will probably be seen, we have two categories of voters, those who voted for us last week and those who, seeing that the PNL understood last week’s vote and changed direction, returned to the PNL. And to those who were with us last Sunday, and to those who voted for us now, we promise that I will not disappoint them. The campaign is over, so we cannot be suspected of beautiful announcements. PNL will support what it approved last week: reforming the political world, state reform, decentralization projects and correct policies that will show that the state respects the citizen and our country is a good place for our young people. Regarding the result of the vote: as you can see, it will be a fragmented Parliament, with several parties, and I believe that the issue of a governing coalition will inevitably arise. PNL is willing to participate in such a coalition, so that we can be a factor of modernization for our country, and the basis for discussion will be the reform program that we have assumed. And I believe and hope that in the coming days the parties will meet and see what is the governing formula that can take Romania forward.”

AUR leader George Simion welcomed the results of the sovereignist parties and launched an attack on the polling companies: “I don’t believe in exit polls.” “They falsified the ballot papers, the ballot boxes, those who did this should be held accountable. The police must do their duty. We don’t believe in exit polls, they were wrong last Sunday. Today the Romanian people voted overwhelmingly for the sovereignist forces. What we wanted 5 years ago. PSD and PNL are out of a major government. I want to congratulate the new forces, POT, SOS Romania and Sens,” said George Simion, at the AUR headquarters.

“Today the Romanian people spoke, not the lying opinion polls, not part of the enslaved press that set us against each other. It’s our time to speak and be listened to. The system tried to defeat us, but it didn’t succeed,” he added. According to the first exit poll estimates, AUR is credited with about 19% of the votes, after PSD.

Kelemen Hunor, UDMR president stated: “We want to have a say in the direction Romania will go”. UDMR President said that he is proud of the result and is waiting for the vote count and that he would like his party to contribute to the direction Romania will go.“Without the voice of reason, nothing can be built, I am proud of this result. We have to wait for the vote count, but I am extremely proud that all our communities, starting with Harghita, came and showed that we are a strong, united community and we want to have a say in the direction Romania will go”.

SOS Romania president Diana Șoșoacă accused voter fraud and announced that she would file criminal complaints for the way the 2024 parliamentary elections were organized. According to exit poll results published by CURS and ARA, SOS Romania is rated at 5.5% of the vote. The estimates do not include the diaspora. “There are three more countries where voting is taking place (…) You have no right to announce the results in such a way as to influence the vote. We will file criminal complaints against the Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the television stations. The SOS party is not happy because you cannot be happy when the country is in chaos, collapse and bankruptcy (…) If you continue with this theft, I will demand the annulment of the parliamentary elections due to massive fraud (…) ballot bags were found (…) taxis left with ballot bags,” said Diana Șoșoacă, quoted by G4Media. Asked about a possible collaboration in the future Parliament, Diana Șoșoacă said that she could collaborate with “the only sovereignist party” AUR, because she gets along well with Claudiu Târziu, but George Simion does not know exactly “what boat he is in.”
