The pro-EU candidate for the key Romanian presidential election won a closely watched match with tough nationalists, almost complete election data, and in a tense election replay, many viewed it as a geopolitical choice between the East and the West.
The match puts the leader George Simion, 38, the leader of the 38-year-old Romanian or Aur Unified Alliance, against Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan.
It was held a few months after the cancellation of the pre-election, and for decades, Romania was in its worst political crisis.
According to official data, after figuring out 10.5 million votes of 11.6 million votes, Dan led by 54.32%, while Simion had 45.68%.
