Nicusor Dan's win in Romania's presidential election illustrates the crucial role of ethnic voters, particularly Hungarians and Moldovans who hold Romanian citizenship. Record voting numbers from these groups contributed decisively to his victory over the hard-right candidate, George Simion. Estimates suggest over 500,000 voters from these communities played a key role in securing Dan's 830,000-vote lead. The political dynamics of these groups in Romania are important not only domestically but also within the broader European context, especially regarding their historical ties and influence on policies.
The record turnout of ethnic Hungarians and Moldovan citizens with Romanian citizenship for Nicusor Dan highlights their significant impact on Romania's democratic landscape.
Without the votes from Romania's ethnic Hungarians and dual citizens from Moldova, Nicusor Dan may not have secured the presidency, underscoring their electoral importance.
