List of officeholders

United Principalities (1859–1881)

From 1859 to 1862, the two Romanian principalities (more specifically Moldavia and Wallachia) had their own government each, and a cabinet, seated in Iași and Bucharest respectively. In 1862, Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza changed the Constitution and from then on there has been a single unified central government, permanently seated in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

Timeline

Notes

1 2 3 4 Due to World War I, the Romanian government served in refuge at Iași, between 3 December 1916 and 29 November 1918.
↑ During this time, Romania changed its calendar, from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, and 1 April 1919 became 14 April 1919 (the month of April only had 17 days that year).
↑ From 14 September 1940, the Prime Minister title was styled Conducător for as long as Marshal Ion Antonescu remained in power as head of the Romanian government.
↑ President of the Provisional Presidium of the Republic (1947–1948); President of the Presidium of the Great National Assembly (1948–1952)
1 2 President of the Presidium of the Great National Assembly
1 2 President of the State Council
↑ President of the State Council (1967–1974); President of Romania (1974–1989)

↑ Roman is currently a PSD member.
↑ Acting President until 20 June 1990.
↑ Stolojan joined the National Salvation Front (FSN) at the time he took office as Prime Minister back in 1991.

↑ Dejeu was the first post-1989 acting/ad interim Prime Minister of Romania and the first such Prime Minister since Constantin Angelescu of the PNL who very briefly served in this position for only 5 days during the interwar period (more specifically between late December 1933–early January 1934).
↑ The first politically non-attached/non-partisan fully technocratic Prime Minister of post-1989 Romania at the time he acceded to governance (despite past ties as undercover informer for the Securitate). Currently, Isărescu is non-affiliated politically and still the Governor of the National Bank of Romania (BNR).
↑ Yet somewhat affiliated with the Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR) as he was later on the official presidential candidate of the revamped CDR 2000 in the 2000 Romanian general election.
↑ PSDR and PDSR merged into the PSD on 16 June 2001.
↑ Suspended in 2007 for 33 day (replaced by Nicolae Văcăroiu as acting president) and in 2012 for 48 days (replaced by Crin Antonescu as acting president).
↑ Subsequently quit the PNL and co-founded ALDE before switching to Ponta's PRO Romania in a short-lived merger of ALDE and the former party which lasted between 2020 and early 2021. Currently, Tăriceanu is politically non-affiliated.
↑ Until 4 December 2006.

↑ Subsequently quit ALDE and joined Ponta's PRO Romania. Eventually, he also quit PRO Romania to join the PNL of which he has been a member to the present day.
↑ Subsequently founded his own party, PLUS, then briefly became USR president, and is currently associated with REPER.
↑ Subsequently quit the PSD and switched to Ponta's PRO Romania in 2019 before eventually re-joining the PSD in early 2020.
↑ Subsequently quit the PSD and became the president of the NOI party in 2022.
↑ until 27 August 2019.
↑ The Orban government was the first entirely national liberal government of Romania in 82 years, after the one previously led by Gheorghe Tătărescu during the interwar period, more specifically from 1934 to 1937.^[1]

1 2 Although he had formally become a politician in 2020, Nicolae Ciucă was the first military leader (more specifically general, albeit retired) to serve as Prime Minister of Romania (both acting/ad interim and in full constitutional powers) since the end of World War II. Additionally, he was the only Romanian Prime Minister to date to have initially served as acting head of government and then as head of government proper (i.e. in full constitutional powers).
↑ After he was dismissed by a record-voted motion of no confidence passed with 281 votes on 5 October 2021, Florin Cîțu still served as ad interim/acting Prime Minister in charge of a minority PNL-UDMR/RMDSZ government between October and November 2021. He had previously served as acting/ad interim Prime Minister since September 2021, just after USR PLUS (now USR) decided to leave government.
↑ to 7 September 2021.
↑ Acting President from 12 February to 26 May.
