Ciugureanu was one of the founders and leaders of the National Moldavian Party and one of the promoters of the Union of Bessarabia with Romania.

On January 24 / February 6, 1918, the Sfatul Țării voted unanimously to proclaim the independence of the Moldavian Democratic Republic. The Board of Directors became the Council of Ministers, and Ciugureanu was elected Prime Minister of the new republic. In fact, it was a reconfirmation of the function in the light of the fact that he was elected First Director on 16 January / 29 January 1918. After the Union of Bessarabia with Romania he served as minister for Bessarabia in four Romanian governments from 9 April / 22 April 1918 – 30 November 1919.
