Romania holds presidential election amid concerns over far-right candidate George Simion's influence.

Romania is holding its presidential election on May 4, with a potential runoff on May 18, after the previous vote was annulled due to alleged irregularities. Eleven candidates, including far-right leader George Simion and Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan, are running for office. Simion, who has distanced himself from pro-Russian stances but has been linked to extremist views, is a frontrunner. The election outcome could affect Romania's relationships with the EU and NATO, given the far-right's potential influence.
