"It (the no confidence motion) passed," the official told reporters in parliament after the vote. Official data showed Grindeanu lost the vote 241-7.


The motion needed 233 votes to topple Grindeanu who refused to resign last week after his ruling Social Democrat-led coalition withdrew its support for his cabinet, saying he was not implementing the coalition government`s programme.
