Romania’s top court has unanimously rejected a request to cancel the May 18 presidential election, which was won by centrist independent Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan. The court, in a statement released on Thursday, deemed the request unfounded.
The request to cancel the election was filed by defeated hard-right contender George Simion, who alleged interference by France and Moldova. However, independent observers have stated that the election was well-organized.
The court is scheduled to validate the election result on Thursday, with Nicusor Dan in attendance.
