US EditionRomania set to vote in critical presidential rerun with a MAGA-style nationalist in the forefront
- Romania is holding a presidential election rerun on May 4, 2025, in response to last year's annulled vote after a court voided the December 6, 2024 election due to alleged Russian interference.
- The annulment followed a surprising first-round lead by far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who faced investigations and was barred from running in the rerun amid controversy and protests.
- Eleven candidates contest the election, with far-right MAGA-style nationalist George Simion currently leading polls and expected to face either incumbent Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan or centrist Crin Antonescu in a potential runoff on May 18.
- Simion, 38, heads AUR, a far-right nationalist party gaining traction amid rising anti-establishment feelings, promotes systemic change, and aligns his movement with the populist MAGA wave originating in the United States.
- The election outcome will influence Romania’s democracy, geopolitical alliances with the EU and NATO, and policies on Ukraine’s war, amid continuing public distrust and criticism from U.S. And Russian actors regarding the election annulment and candidate bans.
