Dancila, 54, became a member of the PSD in 1996. In 2017, she was elected as deputy in the European Parliament for a second term.

Before entering politics, she was an engineer with the then National Oil Company Petrom SA, and prior to that, a teacher at a secondary school.

Dancila will become the third head of government of the Social Democrats which won the parliamentary elections at the end of 2016.

Her predecessor Mihai Tudose, being recently in disagreement with party chairman Liviu Dragnea, was forced to resign after the PSD leadership decided to withdraw its political support for him late Monday.

Tudose took over as prime minister last June, from Sorin Grindeanu who lost power in a no-confidence vote brought by his own party also due to a conflict with party leader Dragnea.
