No joint sitting voted on a Muresan government by 27 September 2026: the Chamber of Deputies record lists no joint sitting from 22 to 27 September, and the investiture vote was scheduled for 29 September after hearings on 28-29 September.
Hunch. Getting to the floor and winning are different things in this record, and the case that never reached the floor is the one that looks most like this one, a candidate who could not assemble a cabinet the parties would sit in.
The vote market resolves on the same record and by the same reading, and it asks only whether the joint sitting took the vote. It resolves YES if a joint sitting on or before 27 September 2026 votes on a request for the confidence of parliament in a Muresan government, whether it grants it or rejects it. A debate that ends without a vote resolves NO. If the parliamentary pages have not updated, Politico Europe and Reuters settle it.
We looked at every candidate for prime minister named in Romania since 2015 whose ten days have run out, using the records of the joint sittings of parliament. There are five, and three of them won a vote of confidence within the ten days. Nicolae Ciuca was named twice within five weeks in the same crisis, so his two tries count as one. This summer's two candidates, Eugen Tomac and Adrian Vestea, are left out because they belong to the crisis this story is about. The vote dates and numbers come from parliament's own records. The dates each candidate was named come from the press, because the president's website could not be reached.
