Romanian President Klaus Iohannis Resigns Amidst Election Fraud Allegations

German media reports that Romanian President Klaus Iohannis resigned on Monday, February 10, 2025, two months after election fraud allegations surfaced during the presidential race. Reports suggest Iohannis's resignation follows the controversial annulment of the presidential elections. Critics accuse him of contributing to the rise of the far-right and alienating Romanians from mainstream politics during his tenure. It remains uncertain whether Călin Georgescu, implicated in the election controversy, will be permitted to run again. He has stated he would support another right-wing candidate in exchange for the position of prime minister.
