BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's opposition Social Democrats (PSD) have taken the lead in vote-counting after elections seen as pivotal for determining the country's future in the European mainstream, partial results showed on Monday - but they are unlikely to be part of the next government.
The PSD, which rode a wave of voter discontent over the coronavirus pandemic and the minority Liberal government's pledges of fiscal restraint, may not have enough support to form a functioning majority against incumbent Prime Minister Ludovic Orban.
