A rerun of Romania’s presidential election is underway, with nationalist candidate George Simion leading the polls due to the disqualification of previous winner Călin Georgescu.

With Simion poised for a second-round showdown on May 18, observers are questioning whether another outsider can challenge his bid for the presidency.
