Far-Right candidate to face pro-EU Bucharest mayor in prez run-off
Hindustan Times West UP
|May 06, 2025
Romania's far-Right candidate George Simion took a comfortable lead in Sunday's first round of presidential elections, near-final results for the rerun of last year's annulled ballot showed.
BUCHAREST:
The closely watched rerun could potentially herald a foreign policy shift in the EU country of 19 million, which has become a key pillar of Nato since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
With 99% of ballots counted, nationalist AUR party leader Simion — a fan of US President Donald Trump — was leading with 40.5% of the vote.
He will face off against pro-EU Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan in the May 18 run-off, who surged to second place at 20.9%, narrowly booting out governing coalition candidate Crin Antonescu at 20.3.
