In a significant electoral shift, little-known far-right candidate Calin Georgescu garnered nearly 22.95% of the vote, marking a turning point in Romania's political landscape.
The runoff between Georgescu and reformist Elena Lasconi illustrates the growing anti-establishment sentiment among Romanian voters, disrupting traditional power dynamics clearly seen in this election.
The political implications are profound, as this is the first time the powerful Social Democratic Party did not have a candidate in the second round since Romania’s democratic transition.
Voter participation was notable, with 9.4 million casting ballots, reflecting a robust engagement from the electorate during this pivotal moment in Romania's democracy.
