CENTRIST President Traian Basescu will face a Socialist former foreign minister in a December 6 runoff presidential election, partial results showed yesterday, in a race key to helping Romania emerge from a political and economic crisis.
Basescu polled 32.8 percent of the vote, while Mircea Geoana scored 29.2 percent, in the first official results based on some 48 percent of the vote counted. Conservative opposition leader Crin Antonescu polled 20.8 percent.
Romania's government collapsed last month amid squabbling between the two-party coalition, and the International Monetary Fund has delayed access to a 1.5 billion-euro (US$2 billion) IMF bailout loan.
The president is key to reviving the government because he nominates a prime minister, whom Parliament must then approve and who would be responsible for forming a new coalition.
