Political analyst Eugen Șerbănescu called the result "surprising" and hoped that voters will "orient themselves better," in the second-round voting, and redirect their dissatisfaction with Romania's political landscape. He said that "social media engineering" has likely played a role in the election.
After polls closed on Sunday, 9.4 million people — about 52.5% of eligible voters — had cast ballots, according to the Central Election Bureau.
