 In late 1947, Stanciu Stoian became another one of the party's leading members to be presiding over a ministry — that of Religious Affairs; additionally, Octav Liveazeanu became head on the Information Ministry.The party ran on a single platform with the PCR during the 1946 general election, which the Groza cabinet won through large-scale electoral fraud, and had PCR activists such as Constantin Agiu among its nominal members.It thus played an active part in the proceedings leading to the creation of Communist Romania.
