Romanian opposition ask court to overturn move to renominate PM - 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.
The next day, Iohannis, an ally of the centrist Liberals, asked Orban to form a new government.
That cabinet is set to be voted down in parliament - the first of two proposed governments that need to be rejected by lawmakers within 60 days to trigger an election, which would then take place a few months ahead of schedule.
