Romanian Court Rejects Election Challenge, Upholding President’s Victory
Romania’s Constitutional Court unanimously upheld the presidential election rerun results, rejecting hard-right candidate George Simion’s request for annulment. Simion, who lost decisively to pro-EU candidate Nicusor Dan, alleged foreign interference and irregularities, but provided no evidence. The Court’s decision is final, validating Dan’s victory with 53.6% of the vote. Dan, the newly elected president, expressed gratitude to the Romanian people and acknowledged the significant challenges ahead.
