Romanians began voting in their presidential election on Sunday with incumbent Klaus Iohannis likely to need a runoff to secure a second term.
Reuters reports that opinion polls show Iohannis, 60, a centrist liberal, winning the ballot with some 40% of the vote. If the polls are correct he will have to face a runoff on Nov. 24, which he is also expected to win.
DW reports that such result would would mean a runoff on November 24 with either of the two other main candidates, Social Democrats’ (PSD) leader Viorica Dancila and the center-right Dan Barna from the Save Romanian Union party.
