George Simion, a nationalist and vocal supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, has won Romania’s first-round presidential election after capitalizing on widespread anti-establishment sentiment.

Romania's previous presidential election was cancelled over allegations of campaign fraud and Russian interference.

Eurosceptic George Simion won the first round of Romania’s presidential election re-run on Sunday, partial results showed, after a ballot seen as a test of the rise of Donald Trump-style nationalism in the European Union.
