Romanians vote in parliamentary election amid presidential race turmoil

latimes.com — December 1, 2024 at 07:01 PM UTC

Romanians voted in a parliamentary election on Sunday amid turmoil from the recent presidential race. Allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference have raised concerns. About 42% of eligible voters had cast ballots by 5 p.m. The presidential election saw far-right candidate Calin Georgescu win the most votes, leading to protests against his past remarks. He will face reformist Elena Lasconi in a runoff on December 8. A recount of votes is underway after a complaint about electoral law violations. The parliamentary election will determine the new government and prime minister. The main parties include the Social Democratic Party, the National Liberal Party, and the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians. Minor parties may also gain seats in the legislature.
