Defeated Romanian ultranationalist will ask court to annul election'
Briefly

George Simion, who lost against Nicusor Dan in Romania's presidential election rerun, intends to ask the constitutional court to annul the results, arguing they echo the grounds that canceled last year's ballot. The recent election showed Dan winning 53.6% to Simion's 46.4%, following a previous cancellation due to campaign financing violations and accusations of Russian interference. Simion alleges electoral fraud, including vote buying and irregularities, while his claims remain unsupported by evidence. His challenge may extend Romania's current political instability under a caretaker government.
The ultranationalist candidate George Simion plans to contest the recent election results, alleging foreign interference and vote buying, echoing claims that led to last year's cancellation.
Simion's decision to challenge the election emphasizes ongoing political uncertainty in Romania, as he claims irregularities without presenting concrete evidence.
