Nicuşor Dan, an independent candidate for the Romanian Presidency, has unequivocally stated his resolve to remain in the race, citing the significant support from his backers. Dan emphasised that his campaign is fortified not only by the financial contributions of two thousand people but also by the dedication of numerous volunteers actively gathering signatures in his favour.
In addressing the inquiries about potentially withdrawing if interim president Ilie Bolojan enters the race, Dan assured that his decision to continue his candidacy remains unaltered. "It is not out of pride but due to the genuine trust and financial backing from the public," he confirmed. Furthermore, Dan has conducted a personal survey which reinforced his confidence in his presidential ambitions.

Regarding the stance of USR (Uniunea Salvați România), Dan expressed his respect for their strategic plans and made it clear he is committed to respecting their decisions without exerting any undue pressure. He noted that USR has already endorsed Lasconi as their candidate, maintaining he has maintained a cordial relationship with the party in other areas of governance.
Adding another layer of complexity to the political landscape, Dan remarked on the unusual alliance that saw Crin Antonescu being endorsed by traditionally opposing factions, namely PSD, PNL, and UDMR. This surprising political alignment challenges the conventional divides, with Antonescu surprisingly garnering more favorable responses from PSD supporters while maintaining a comparable standing to Dan among PNL sympathizers.
