The information was confirmed by designated Prime Minister Victor Ponta.
Ponta also said Monday the National Union for the Progress of Romania (UNPR) will hold no ministerial portfolio in the future Cabinet and the Hungarian minority party UDMR will not be part of the future government.
Earlier Monday, sources within the governing Social Liberal Union (USL) said Dragnea will also run the Ministry of Administration and Regional Development and Chitoiu will also take the helm of the Finance Ministry. They also said there is no telling whether Oprea will also be tasked with running a ministry.
Romanian President Traian Basescu announced Monday he is reappointing Social Democratic party leader Victor Ponta for prime minister. Ponta’s Social Liberal Union won around 60% of the seats in Parliament following parliamentary elections on December 9.
Ponta, who has been Romania’s prime minister since May 2012, will have to appoint a new Cabinet and seek a vote of confidence in Parliament.
