The Niculescu cabinet is the 136th government of Romania, since 20 October 2026. The government is led by Luca Niculescu.
The cabinet was formed following a political crisis that started in May 2026, when Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan was removed through a motion of no confidence supported by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the opposition Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR). After three unsuccessful attempts to appoint a successor, President Nicușor Dan nominated Niculescu on 5 October.[1] Niculescu subsequently secured parliamentary approval for his cabinet on 20 October, ending months of political deadlock.[2]
