Preliminary exit polls showed that Nicusor Dan, the mayor of Bucharest, holds a lead over his rival George Simion in Romania's presidential runoff on Sunday.

According to an exit poll conducted by the AVANGARDE Socio-Behavioral Studies Group, Dan, an independent candidate, secured 54.9 percent of the vote, while Simion, the head of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), received 45.1 percent.

A separate exit poll conducted by the Center for Urban and Regional Sociology (CURS) showed a similar outcome. Dan garnered 54.1 percent, compared to 45.9 percent for Simion.

Sunday's vote marked the second round of a re-run election, following the annulment of the 2024 presidential results due to alleged campaign irregularities and foreign interference.
