The Princess earned 75 votes, while her contender Dumitru Costin garnered 11 votes.

Thank you so much for your trust and not just for that, because this decision closes a circle and heals a wound. You offered me the position my great-grandmother, Queen Maria has also held. Thank you, Mihaela Geoana, for all you have done in your two terms in office, and I hope I'll rise to the challenge. Trust my loyalty and my energy, and I'll do my utmost to be a good president and take the Red Cross further. Thank you from all my heart, and good luck with your work, Princess Margareta said in the post-vote address to the applause of the audience, after her predecessor Mihaela Geoana, who served two terms at the helm of the Red Cross Society, passed on the baton to her.
