2024 Romanian Election
Romania's top court annuls results of presidential election's first round
Romania's constitutional court has annulled the first round of the country's presidential election, citing concerns over the correctness and legality of the electoral process. The decision was made after declassified documents alleged Russia had run a coordinated online campaign in the election. The first round was won by far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who polled in single digits but surged to victory. The annulment of the results means that the election process will have to be restarted from scratch, with a second round that was due to take place on Sunday being cancelled. The court's decision has significant implications for Romania's future, as the country is a strategically important NATO member.
