Romania's top court upheld a decision to ban far-right candidate Calin Georgescu from standing in a presidential election rerun in May, broadcaster Digi24 cited sources as saying on Tuesday, leaving his allies with four days to find a replacement.

Romania’s constitutional court upheld a decision banning presidential front-runner Calin Georgescu from May election, ending the bid that plunged the country into the biggest political crisis since the fall of communism.

Romanian far-right populist Calin Georgescu says he will appeal the decision to bar him from running in the country’s presidential election rerun.
