Romania's top court orders rerun of presidential election after annulment of first round results

Romania's top court has canceled the results of the first round of the presidential election, requiring a complete rerun of the election process. The second round was scheduled for Sunday, with voting already underway abroad. Calin Georgescu, a far-right candidate, unexpectedly won the first round despite low polling numbers. Concerns arose over potential foreign interference, as documents revealed Romania faced "aggressive hybrid Russian attacks" during the election. The court stated that the government will set a new date for the election. The integrity of the recent parliamentary election remains intact, with the ruling Social Democrats emerging as the largest party.
