BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's centrist President Klaus Iohannis said on Tuesday he has appointed opposition Liberal Party leader Ludovic Orban as prime minister-designate to form a transitional government until a parliamentary election next year.
Prime Minister Viorica Dancila's center-left government collapsed this month after losing a no-confidence vote in parliament, raising the prospect of a government with limited support from a fragmented opposition.
Orban must put together a cabinet and governing program which will need to gain parliament's vote of confidence.
