PNL lost four mayors in Mureș
UDMR Mureş President Peter Ferenc announced that following Sunday’s elections, the Union won 40 mayors in the county, including those of the municipalities of Târgu Mureş and Reghin.
“Importantly, the UDMR not only managed to maintain its position as mayor of the county, but it even managed to strengthen its leadership position in this county. At this time we have 40 mayors (out of 102 territorial administrative units, no) who won, of which 38 started as candidates of the UDMR and two independents who were supported by the UDMR. Here I would say that I won Târgu Mureş, I won Reghin and I won Breaza, places where I have not had a mayor for a long time. Also, the only place that we would have liked, but could not recover, is Ghindari, where the mayor remained in office, ”said Peter Ferenc.
