Romania forced to rerun election after foreign interference revealed
The Constitutional Court of Romania has decided to annul the first round of the presidential elections. This decision arises from the discovery of manipulation in the campaign of candidate Călin Georgescu. He was reportedly the beneficiary of an operation conducted from outside Romania.
The Constitutional Court of Romania made this decision during its session on Friday. The decision was reported by Digi24 television, citing official sources.
This move means that the entire election process must start afresh.
Manipulation in Georgescu's campaign
The elections were annulled because of the disclosed intelligence documents, which indicated manipulative actions influencing the campaign of candidate Călin Georgescu.
Georgescu, who received the most votes in the first round, was the beneficiary of an operation conducted outside Romania.
The impending conclusion of the current President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, 's term adds extra tension to the process of holding early elections. His term will expire on 21 December, making the situation even more urgent.
