He was rated with the best chance of winning the election by main opinion polls. On the other hand, the main right-wing parties, strengthened under the Christian Liberal Alliance, have designated Klaus Iohannis, the second favorite of the opinion polls. However, the so-called "right wing" was still divided, with many newly formed parties with small number of members designating their own presidential candidates, such as Elena Udrea, candidate from the People's Movement Party and supported by the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party. There were four independent candidates: former Prime Minister CÄlin Popescu-TÄriceanu, former Minister of Justice Monica Macovei, former Chief of the Foreign Intelligence Service Teodor MeleÈcanu and former Mayor of Cluj-Napoca Gheorghe Funar.This was a record number of candidates since 1996, since in 2000, 2004 and 2009, only 12 candidates were admitted each election.WEB,weblink ALEGERI PREZIDENÈIALE 2014: Cei mai mulÈi prezidenÈiabili, din 1996.

- Mihai RÄzvan Ungureanu, former Prime Minister of Romania: Ungureanu was a candidate for the Civic Force, but withdrew after the party he led was absorbed into the Christian Liberal Alliance in July 2014.
- Cristian Diaconescu, former Presidential Adviser of Traian BÄsescu: he was elected as official candidate of newly formed People's Movement Party, but withdrew from the presidential race to support his party colleague, Elena Udrea, who scored higher in the opinion polls.WEB,weblink Internal party struggles will form the backdrop to Romania's presidential election in November, London School of Economics and Political Science, Roxana MihÄilÄ, 16 September 2014,
