Romanians vote in presidential election with potential nationalist-leftist runoff

clickondetroit.com — November 24, 2024 at 06:01 AM UTC

Romanians are voting today in the first round of a presidential election, with 13 candidates competing. The election may lead to a runoff on December 8 between far-right nationalist George Simion and incumbent leftist Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. Simion, leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, has controversial views and is known for his support of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Ciolacu aims to encourage Romanians abroad to return home and improve the economy. Other candidates include Elena Lasconi, Mircea Geoana, and Nicolae Ciuca. The election occurs alongside parliamentary elections on December 1, which will shape Romania's future government.
