With 90% of votes counted, Romania’s ruling Social Democrats (PSD) are leading the parliamentary election with 23.9%, ahead of the far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), which secured 17.9%. Smaller far-right parties like SOS (7.2%) and POT (5.8%) are also expected to enter parliament for the first time. The fragmented political landscape is likely to complicate the formation of a stable government.
