Bucharest. 16 December. REPORT.AZ/ Romanian central electoral commission announced final results of parliamentary elections held on on December 11.

Eastern European bureau of Report informs, Social Democratic Party (PSD) won 221 seats with 45% votes.

Breakdown of parliamentary seats is as follows: Social Democratic Party (PSD) - 221 seats, National Liberal Party (PNL) - 99 seats, Save Romania Union (USR) - 43 seats, Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) – 30 seats, Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) – 29 seats, Peoples Movement Party - 26 seats, national minorities - 17 seats.
