Presidential election set for Dec. 7, Democrat Marian Lupu only person running

During a meeting today, Parliament set the date of the repeat presidential election for December 7.

Democratic Party head Marian Lupu, who is the ruling Alliance's candidate, is the only person running.

Thus far, the Communists have said that they will not vote for Mr. Lupu.

The Alliance has a slim majority of 53 seats, eight short of the 61 it needs to elect its own head of state.

A few days ago, Mr. Lupu made 12 offers to the Party of Communists (PC) in exchange for their vote for President, but the PC seems unconvinced.
