Overview
Romania's Constitutional Court has annulled the presidential election results due to alleged Russian interference that influenced Calin Georgescu's unexpected victory in the first round. The ruling mandates a new election, raising concerns about democratic integrity and political stability in Romania, a key NATO member bordering Ukraine.

Calls for investigations into purported Russian meddling and cyberattacks have heightened political tensions, as Georgescu's supporters accuse the establishment of a 'coup' to undermine their candidate.
