  Mayor of Bucharest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mayor of Bucharest (Primarul General al Municipiului Bucureşti in Romanian) is the head of the Bucharest City Hall, which is responsible for city-wide affairs, such as the water system, the transport system and the main boulevards.
The mayor is sometimes known as the General Mayor to distinguish him or her from the sectorial mayors that lead each of Bucharest's six administrative sectors, and which are responsible for local area affairs, such as secondary streets, parks, schools and cleaning services.
All decisions of the mayor have to be approved by the 55-seat General Council of Bucharest.

The contest between the outgoing prime minister, Adrian Nastase, a former communist and the social democratic leader, and Traian Basescu, the popular liberal mayor of Bucharest, was particularly important since elections a fortnight ago returned a hung parliament, complicating the formation of a new government and enhancing the role of the presidency.
