Romania has a new president as elections take place across Europe

May 19, 2025

Bucharest [Romania], May 19: It has been a frantic night of politics in Europe, with three elections including one result and two indicative exit polls in the last couple of hours.
The headline election was Romania's presidential vote, with liberal Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan coming out the winner ahead of nationalist George Simion.
Dan initially topped the exit polls, but Simion immediately claimed victory, only to see the prediction turn into reality as the votes were counted.
Dan told his supporters "victory is yours".
Poland was also holding a presidential election, and Polish TV's exit poll indicated that Warsaw's liberal Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski received 30.8%, while national-conservative historian Karol Nawrocki won 29.1% of the vote.
