Romanian court cancels presidential election, Iohannis to remain in office

Romania's top court has canceled the presidential election just two days before the run-off, citing concerns over Russian interference. President Klaus Iohannis will remain in office until a new election can be scheduled. The court's decision requires a complete re-run of the election process. The second round was set to feature pro-European candidate Elena Lasconi against far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who has faced scrutiny over his campaign. The ruling has created uncertainty about Romania's leadership, as Iohannis's term ends on December 21. An investigation into Georgescu's campaign is underway, following allegations of illegal activities and foreign influence.
