BUCHAREST, June 29 -- Romania's new cabinet, headed by Social Democrat Mihai Tudose, won a vote of confidence in parliament on Thursday.
A total of 275 Members of Parliament (MPs) -- 42 more than the minimum threshold of 233 -- voted in favor of the new government, while 102 MPs voted against.
There was no suspense in the confidence voting in the parliament, as the main ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD), along with its junior partner Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), have a majority in the 465-seat assembly.
About half of Prime Minister Tudose's 27-member cabinet is made up of ministers from the previous cabinet headed by outgoing prime minister Sorin Grindeanu, which was overthrown last week after a no-confidence motion in parliament.
The government structure remains almost unchanged, with the exception of the addition of a third deputy prime minister instead of the current two. The newly established post of deputy prime minister will not have a portfolio, while the original two are also in charge of the ministry of regional development and ministry of environment respectively.
Tudose, 50, was designated as the country's new prime minister on Monday by President Klaus Iohannis, who accepted the candidate proposed by the parliamentary majority.
Tudose was the acting economy minister in the government led by his predecessor Grindeanu and had been in the same position from December 2017 to November 2017 in a previous Social Democratic government.
