Candidates vote in Romanian election

(10 Nov 2019) Romanian President Klaus Iohannis cast his vote in Romania's presidential election on Sunday, along with rival candidate and former Prime Minister Viorica Dancila.

The vote comes after a lackluster campaign overshadowed by a political crisis which saw a minority government installed just a few days ago.

Around 18.2 million voters are eligible to cast their ballots for one of 14 candidates vying for the five-year presidential term.

Recent polls suggest Iohannis, and centre-left candidate Dancila, until last month Romania's prime minister, are the top contenders.

If no candidate wins more than 50 percent of the vote on Sunday, there will be a second round of voting on November 24.
