Romanian "hard-right" (pundit desciption) candidate George Simion is leading the presidential election with 40% of the vote after 95% of ballots were counted, excluding those from the diaspora, according to official data released Sunday.
Centrists Nicușor Dan and Crin Antonescu had been running neck and neck, but Dan has now edged into second place, setting up a potential runoff against Simion on May 18. Dan currently holds 20.9%, narrowly ahead of Antonescu at 20.2%.
If confirmed, the results will pit nationalist Simion against centrist Dan in a closely watched second round. (With no candidate projected to get more than 50% of the vote, a run-off between the top two is expected on 18 May.)
