Romanian far-right pro-Russian presidential candidate Calin Georgescu remained voters' top choice ahead of a re-run of a presidential election in May, an opinion survey showed late on Monday. The survey comes one month after the European Union state's top court annulled the presidential election in which Georgescu was the frontrunner two days before the second round,

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) decided on Tuesday, January 21, not to issue an interim measure in the case in which Călin Georgescu appealed the Romanian Constitutional Court’s decision to annul the 2024 presidential elections.

Romania’s largest opposition party threw its support behind the poll-leading pro-Russian politician whose shock victory in last year’s presidential election prompted authorities to invalidate the result.

The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday rejected an appeal by Romania's far-right presidential candidate to overturn a domestic court decision to annul a December presidential election. Calin Georgescu was the frontrunner after the first round of presidential elections on Nov.
