BUCHAREST (Reuters) -Romania’s broad ruling coalition agreed to rotate prime ministers before a 2028 parliamentary election, with Liberal Ilie Bolojan swapping with a leftist Social Democrat in April 2027, a protocol signed by political leaders showed on Monday.

Bolojan will ask parliament for a vote of confidence later on Monday. His cabinet will be backed by the centre-left Social Democrats, the centre-right Liberals and the Save Romania Union, the ethnic Hungarian UDMR party and representatives of minorities.
