Four parties also promise fresh presidential elections after the previous ballot was annulled by the country’s top court

Photograph: EPA’s pro-European parties pledged to move quickly to form a new government to keep the far-right out of power and to call fresh presidential elections after the previous ballot was annulled by the country’s top court.
The parties will explore the possibility of supporting a joint candidate in presidential elections, according to the statement. The vote is unlikely before March or April next year after the new government is in place. Romania was thrown into political turmoil following the court’s decision on Friday to cancel the result of the first round of the presidential vote amid allegations of Russian meddling and a shock victory of a little-know fringe candidate Calin Georgescu.
