"If PDL wins, results will allow us to go to the president with our heads held high. The president will decide whom to appoint as prime minister,” Stolojan said.

He said the difference between exit polls and partial results released by the Central Election office may be explained by the fact that samples for the poll were not well represented for uninominal constituencies.

"And there’s another thing: we don’t know whether the ballots yet uncounted are in rural or in urban areas,” Stolojan said.

Romania’s Democratic Liberal Party obtained 34.67% of voters’ preferences for Senate, followed by the alliance of social democrats and conservatives with 33.36% and liberals with 18.18%, following the counting of votes in 71.06% of polling stations countrywide by GMT 0600, the Central Election Office said.

For the Chamber of Deputies, the same report shows the Democratic Liberal Party obtained 33.29% of voters’ preferences for the Chamber of Deputies, followed by the alliance of social democrats and conservatives with 32.51% and liberals with 18.10%.

Two exit polls Sunday evening showed the social democrats in the lead with roughly 36% of voters’ preferences, followed by democrat liberals with roughly 30% and liberals with roughly 20%.
