Pro-European Nicusor Dan elected president of Romania

The liberal and pro-EU mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, has faced a strong challenge from a right-wing Romanian nationalist to win the presidency after months of political turmoil, writes the BBC .

George Simion, the leader of the far-right AUR party, won a dramatic first-round victory earlier this month, riding a wave of anger from Romanians who had seen the presidential race canceled late last year over allegations of Russian interference.

But it was the soft-spoken Nicusor Dan who won, winning 54% of the vote in Romania, although Simion had more success in the diaspora.

"We must build Romania together regardless of who you voted for ," Dan said, after his victory was secured.
