Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The pro-Russian nationalist candidate Calin Georgescu had racked up a definitive 350,000 vote lead in an upset in Romania's presidential election as counting in the first round wound to a finish Monday. The "Tik Tok" candidate, so-called because he ran his campaign around the video-sharing social media platform, narrowly beat Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, who was the favorite, into third place behind the center-right candidate Elena Lasconi.
