The Constitutional Court rejected on Monday the Social-Democratic Party’s request regarding the December 6 elections’ result, judicial sources declared for Romanian press agency NewsIn. PSD complaint to the Constitutional Court that the presidential elections were subject to fraud, requesting the Court to allow for a repetition of the second round.

After analysing the documentation submitted by the PSD, the Romanian Constitutional Court requested BEC to re-examine the invalid voting bulletins, namely 2,247. According to BEC’s assessment, 1,260 of them were in Traian Basescu’s favour, while 987 were allocated to Mircea Geoana.
