Ludovic Orban, born on May twenty-fifth, nineteen sixty-three, is a prominent Romanian engineer and politician. He served as the Prime Minister of Romania from November two thousand nineteen to December two thousand twenty, showcasing his leadership during a pivotal time in the country's history.

Orban was the president of the National Liberal Party (PNL) from two thousand seventeen until two thousand twenty-one. His tenure was marked by significant political challenges, culminating in his expulsion from the party shortly after he lost a bid for re-election as its leader. Prior to this, he held the position of Minister of Transport in the second Tăriceanu cabinet from April two thousand seven to December two thousand eight.

From two thousand eight to two thousand sixteen, Orban represented Bucharest as a member of the Chamber of Deputies. Following the two thousand twenty Romanian legislative election, he reclaimed his parliamentary seat and was subsequently elected as the president of the Chamber of Deputies of Romania, a role he resigned from in October two thousand twenty-one.

In December two thousand twenty-one, Orban took a significant step in his political career by founding a new centre-right political party, the Force of the Right (FD), further solidifying his influence in Romanian politics.
