Asked whether he is to run for party president if Geoana wins the presidential election this fall, Nastase said: "If I have my colleagues’ support, yes."

Nastase added the party’s presidential candidate will be officially designated during the party’s national council meeting Thursday afternoon.

The social democrat also said it is essential for the party to “revalidate” itself as a main political force in the country, which also includes winning the presidential election.
