Elections 2024. Surprises and twists, at 9 p.m

Presidential ELECTIONS 2024. In the headquarters of the major parties and in the offices of sociologists who analyze the data coming from the polling stations in real time, it is stupor, Sunday afternoon.

The exit polls accredited by BEC that will be made public at 21.00 anticipate spectacular reversals of the situation

Presidential elections. Surprises and twists

According to some sources antena3.ropoliticians and sociologists talk about big surprises and anticipate spectacular upsets between the presidential candidates.

The sources speak of three candidates who, at the moment, are shoulder to shoulder to enter the second round of the presidential elections. For one of them, considered the “big surprise” of these elections, sociologists fail to find logical explanations for his rise.

“Unless the voters make fun of us when they answer the question of who they voted for,” said a reputable sociologist for the cited source.

Voting attendance until 17.00

Until 17:00, in the first round of the presidential elections, 7,457,099 voters voted, representing 41.40% of the number of those registered in the electoral lists, according to the data provided in real time by the Permanent Electoral Authority.

Villages, the diaspora and the youngest 18-24 age segment are voting in greater numbers than in 2019, according to HotNews.

There are more rural votes than in 2019, while the urban vote has decreased, according to AEP data up to 5 p.m. The vote in villages increased by 5.21%, that in cities decreased by 5.37%.

Massive vote in cities

Political leaders talk about massive voting in the big cities, even in fiefdoms classically assigned to the big parties, a vote which, they fear, would not be in favor of the big parties, but rather built on an “anti” wave. Anti-system, anti-government, anti-current political class.

In Bucharest, also, the ranking during the day recorded by the polling houses showed the same trend in which the big parties were at a disadvantage.

However, all political calculations depend on the vote in the Diaspora, where PNL did not have an electoral campaign and PSD is not rated as the favorite either. The vote of the Diaspora Romanians has always been anti-government and can overturn the calculations in Bucharest.

What is certain is that the evening will not end at 9 p.m., after the exit poll numbers are announced.
