BUCHAREST, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- The ruling Social Liberal Union is poised to have won an overwhelming victory in Romania's quadrennial parliamentary elections, as some 57 percent of the over 18 million voters supposed to cast their ballots for the ruling coalition, according to the exit polls results released soon after voting.

The Social Liberal Union took 54-56.96 percent of votes for the Chamber of Deputies and 55-58.3 percent of votes for the Senate.

The ruling coalition is followed far away by the pro-presidential Right Romania Alliance with 18.12-19 percent for the Chamber of Deputies and 18.87-19.6 percent for the Senate. The populist People's Party created by media tycoon Dan Diaconescu got 10-13.8 percent and 10-14.1 percent for the two houses of the parliament respectively.

The Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania is the last to enter the parliament with about 5 percent of the vote for the both chambers of the parliament, according to the exit polls.
