Romania's top court annuls first round of presidential vote won by far-right candidate
December 08, 2024
|The Statesman
A top Romanian court on Friday annulled the first round of the country's presidential election, days after allegations emerged that Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round.
The Constitutional Court's unprecedented decision—which is final—came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia organized thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms such as TikTok and Telegram.
The court, without naming Georgescu, said that one of the 13 candidates in the Nov. 24 first round had improperly received "preferential treatment" on social media, distorting the outcome of the vote.
