I’m not saying it’s impossible for him to win. Definitely not counting our chickens yet. But many people in Romania vote for familiar names, for the big parties. He’s an independent and most people have never heard of him. In your case, that was the incumbent. It’s a big difference.
He somehow managed to get 2.1 million votes. That’s huge and a major surprise as everyone is saying. But it’s another thing to get 4-5 million votes. Yes, he’ll get more votes in the second round, but in order to win, he’ll need to more than double his votes. (He got 2.1 million out of almost 9.5 million votes) Which is unlikely. Not impossible, no. There’s still a chance that people will be dumb. But it’s unlikely.
