Romanian court to rule on whether presidential election should be rerun

Court has ordered a recount of last week’s vote won by far-right, pro-Moscow candidate and will decide whether to annul it altogether

The head of Romania’s election bureau has said the first round of its presidential election could be rerun, as the country’s constitutional court prepared to decide whether the vote, won by a little-known ultranationalist, should be annulled.

Toni Greblă said a rerun of the 24 November ballot could be held on 15 December, with the second round run-off two weeks later. The court, which has already ordered a recount of the vote, meets this afternoon to decide whether to annul it altogether.
