(ANSA-AFP) - BUCHAREST, NOV 25 - Romania's pro-European Prime
Minister Marcel Ciolacu said Monday his party "won't challenge"
the narrow result that showed him eliminated from the country's
presidential election, announcing his resignation as party
leader. Ciolacu came third on 19.15 percent in Sunday's
election, with pro-Russian candidate Calin Georgescu topping the
poll at 22.94 percent and centre-right Elena Lasconi in second
place at 19.18 percent. Ciolacu told reporters his Social
Democratic Party (PSD) "won't challenge" the result of Sunday's
vote, adding: "The rules of democracy and the importance of the
second round are greater than our personal interests."
