Romania's court orders recount of presidential election votes amid foreign interference claims

ft.com — November 28, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

Romania's Constitutional Court has ordered a recount of the first round of presidential elections, where pro-Russian candidate Călin Georgescu unexpectedly led. The court will decide on Friday whether to annul the results amid allegations of foreign interference. President Klaus Iohannis convened a security council meeting to address potential cyber threats related to the election. Both Georgescu and his opponent, Elena Lasconi, oppose annulling the results, which would require a new vote on December 8. Authorities are investigating Georgescu's campaign financing and have requested an inquiry into TikTok for its role in promoting him. Protests against Georgescu have erupted in major cities, with demonstrators expressing concerns over his far-right views.
