Romania's governing party set to win election despite far-right resurgence
Briefly

The governing Social Democratic Party (SDP) is projected to maintain its parliamentary majority, securing approximately 24% of the vote, while facing a significant challenge from the far-right Alliance for Uniting Romanians, which has garnered around 18%. This marks a noteworthy resurgence for the far-right in a political landscape that appears increasingly fragmented, reflecting a shift among voters.
The elections are experiencing the highest turnout in twenty years, with over 52.3% of eligible voters participating. This surge of civic engagement suggests that voters are becoming more invested in party dynamics and policy directions, amid a backdrop of rising ultra-nationalist sentiment and skepticism towards established parties. The full impact of this high voter turnout will be clearer once votes from abroad are counted.
