BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's opposition Social Democrat Party (PSD) said on Monday they would go to court to challenge President Klaus Iohannis's move to renominate the ousted Ludovic Orban as prime minister, which could derail plans to trigger an early election.

Lawmakers last week toppled Orban's three-month-old minority government, potentially opening the way for an election that his Liberals (PNL) are confident of winning.
