BUCHAREST, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Romania's Constitutional Court (CCR) announced on Friday that it has delayed its ruling on the annulment of the first-round results of the Nov. 24 presidential election to Dec. 2.
The CCR said that a decision on the request by Cristian Terhes, a candidate in the election, to cancel the first-round results will be made on Dec. 2 at 17:00 local time, following the completion of a nationwide recount of the more than 9.4 million votes cast.
The recount, ordered by the CCR on Thursday, is being conducted by the Central Electoral Bureau and includes both valid and null ballots.
As a result, the campaign for the second round, initially scheduled to begin on Nov. 29, has been put on hold pending the court's final decision. ■
