It is the PNL chairperson that is being elected at the congress on September 25. It is a competition between me and Florin Citu. So my candidacy must be analyzed, who I am, what I have done for PNL, what I am able to do for PNL, to what extent I meet the requirements that are fundamental to ensure a fair and successful leadership of PNL and to what extent my opponent is comparable to me in this race," Orban stressed.
