Romania Annuls Election Result After Pro-Putin Candidate's Shock Lead

Romania's Constitutional Court has annulled the results of the first round of the country's presidential election, requiring the process to be rerun.

This unprecedented decision followed the declassification of intelligence documents by President Klaus Iohannis, which alleged that Russia orchestrated a campaign to promote far-right candidate Călin Georgescu on platforms such as TikTok and Telegram.

The court said in a statement it "annuls the entire electoral process regarding the election of the president of Romania".

The allegations raised concerns about foreign interference in Romania's electoral process, leading to heightened scrutiny over the integrity of the vote and its potential impact on the country's democratic framework.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
