Romanian Parliamentary Election: Voters weigh in as they cast their ballots

Romanians vote in parliamentary elections to elect a new parliament, with the far right tipped to win, potentially heralding a shift in the foreign policy of the NATO country bordering Ukraine.

The parliamentary poll comes at a time of political turmoil, sparked when a top court ordered a recount of the first round of the separate presidential election on November 24.

The presidential ballot was won by Calin Georgescu, a little-known far-right admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A run-off in that poll is slated for December 8.
