From 23 December 2020, he served as the Minister of Transport in the Cîțu Cabinet,[2][3] until his resignation registered on 7 September 2021.[4][5] According to USR MP Emanuel Ungureanu, he could likely be the presidential candidate of USR for the forthcoming 2024 Romanian presidential election.[6]

Since 7 February 2022 onwards, he has been serving as the ad interim president of the USR, as a result of the resignation of Dacian Cioloș.[7]
