Presidential elections will be held in Romania no later than the end of November 2009.^[1] The election date must be announced not later than 45 days before that date. The election's campaign will be a month long.

[edit] Candidates

Currently, the electoral calendar is not established, and one cannot talk about official candidates. Still, the major parties have nominated their candidates. They are: the incumbent Traian Băsescu (formally independent, but sustained by PD-L), Mircea Geoană (PSD), Crin Antonescu (PNL), Corneliu Vadim Tudor (PRM),^[2][3] and Hunor Kelemen (UDMR).^[4] Also, on 9 April 2009, Radu, Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen, husband of Princess Margarita of Romania announced his candidacy to the office of President^[5]. Incumbent Traian Băsescu, when asked, has replied "I did not announce my candidacy", thus increasing speculations about him not running for a second term.

[edit] Opinion polls

A poll from May 2009 saw Băsescu lead with 31%, followed by Geoană at 24% and Antonescu with 20%. Prince Radu and Tudor followed with numbers in the single digits.^[6]
