A recount of annulled votes in Romania's presidential election failed to overturn the incumbent Traian Basescu's victory, the country's central election bureau said on Sunday.

Basescu won the December 6 runoff by around 70,000 votes against leftist challenger Mircea Goreana, who contested the result at the Constitutional Court saying the election was marred by fraud.

The court asked for a recount of more than 138,000 annulled votes by Monday.

Basescu is an Eastern Orthodox Christian. I have always liked him a great deal.
