Romania’s top court has ordered a recount of votes in the first round of the presidential election, it said on Thursday, in a decision that observers say could tarnish the credibility of state institutions before two more votes.

The Constitutional Court “unanimously ordered the re-verification and recount of the ballots for the November 24 presidential election,” it said in a statement.

After polling in single digits ahead of Sunday’s vote, independent far-right politician Calin Georgescu, 62, achieved a victory that raised questions about how such a surprise was possible in the European Union and NATO member country. .
