Romania's ruling coalition agreed on Wednesday to rerun a two-round presidential election on May 4 and May 18 and stuck to an original plan to endorse a single candidate, the Liberal Party, one of the three coalition parties, said, APA reports.
Three consecutive ballots to elect a new president and parliament in the European Union and NATO state descended into chaos when Calin Georgescu, a little-known far-right, pro-Russian politician, won the first presidential round on Nov. 24.
Romania's outgoing president, Klaus Iohannis, will stay on as head of state until the May election.
The new government will approve the calendar for the new ballot on Monday, the Liberals said.
