Romania is set for a heated presidential election on Sunday following the controversial annulment of the 2024 vote.

This race marks a highly polarized political climate, with right-wing populist George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Union of

Romanians, competing against centrist technocrat Nicusor Dan, the mayor of Bucharest.

Recent polls indicate a tight contest, with only a few percentage points separating the two candidates.
