The cabinet put forth by Adrian Veștea, a vice-president of the National Liberal Party until his expulsion just a day prior , failed to obtain the investiture vote in Parliament on Monday, June 22, during a voting session that dragged past midnight. The Veștea government gathered only 189 votes in favor and 23 against out of the 287 MPs declared present. The cabinet would have needed a minimum of 233 votes in favor to pass.  Veștea’s failure became apparent after the representatives of the far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians left the room as a group before the vote took place.
