PSD and PNL (current coalition government) came in 7% and 12% respectively below their previous electoral results in the parliamentary elections.

PSD has been on a decline since its peak in 2012 when it got 59% of the vote. Voters view it as corrupt.

The presidential election was annulled but opposition and outsider candidates did well in the first round while PSD's candidate came in third place.
