BUCHAREST (Reuters) – Romania’s top court unanimously rejected as unfounded a request to cancel a May 18 presidential election that was won by centrist independent Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan, it said in a statement on Thursday.
Romania’s defeated hard-right contender George Simion had filed the request alleging interference by France and Moldova. Independent observers have said the election was well-organized. The court will validate the election result on Thursday with Dan in attendance.
