A top Romanian court has validated the results of Romania’s presidential election rerun, shortly after rejecting a request to annul the results by the hard-right candidate who decisively lost the race to his pro-European Union opponent.

Far-right Romanian presidential candidate George Simion lost a legal bid Thursday to annul last weekend's run-off election after a surprise loss to centrist rival, former Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan.

The Romanian Constitutional Court unanimously rejected the request to annul the May 18 presidential elections, which were won by Nicusor Dan. The decision is final and not subject to further appeals.
