The EP election was held in Romania on Sunday.

The turnout was 27.4%. The EP is reporting the following results (2007 in brackets):

PSD-PC (Social Democratic Party and the Conservative Party) – 31.1%, 11 seats (23.11% for PSD, 13, 2.9% for Conservatives, 0)
PD-L (Democratic Liberal Party) – 29.7%, 10 seats (28.8%, 13, plus 7.8%, 3 for PDL, since merged with PD-L)
PNL (National Liberal Party) – 14.5%, 5 seats (13.4%, 6)
PRM (Greater Romania Party) – 8.9%, 3 seats (4.2%, 0)
UDMR (Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania) – 8.7%, 3 seats (5.5%, 2)
Băsescu Elena (daughter of President Băsescu, rejoined PD-L after the election) – 4.2%, 1 seat

Recall that the November 2008 legislative election resulted in a coalition between the PSD and PD-L. So, the two coalition parties were competing against each other and both emerged, unsurprisingly, as the largest parties. The fact that they competed against each other is also unsurprising in that there is a presidential election later this year and both will also be standing candidates there. The rise in support for the far-right, nationalist Greater Romania Party is noteworthy.
