Romania President Klaus Iohannis was reelected by a landslide in Sunday’s runoff election in a strong show of support of the country’s pro-EU trajectory. Iohannis, head of the center-right National Liberal Party, took 66.5 percent of the vote, while former Social Democrat prime minister Viorica Dancila grabbed just 33.5 percent, according to the IRES exit poll. “After this victory, there are many things to do, to repair. I will get involved in creating a new majority, made of the democratic parties, which will lead Romania towards modernization, Europeanization,” Iohannis said. “I promise to be a president for all Romanians. The winner today is modern Romania, European Romania, the normal Romania.” During his campaign, Iohannis vowed to fight corruption and work on overhauling the judiciary.
