Romania’s top court has upheld the victory of centrist independent Nicușor Dan in the May 18 presidential election, rejecting a challenge from far-right candidate George Simion over alleged foreign interference.

Romania's top court has unanimously dismissed a petition to annul the May 18 presidential election won by centrist independent and Bucharest mayor Nicușor Dan, declaring the challenge unfounded.

The request was filed by defeated far-right candidate George Simion, who alleged foreign interference from France and Moldova—claims that independent observers have dismissed, affirming the election was properly conducted. The court is set to formally validate the results on Thursday, with Dan expected to attend.
