BUCHAREST, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Romania's High Court of Cassation and Justice on Sunday rejected a request from the party of Justice and Respect in Europe for All (DREPT) to annul the results of the recent parliamentary elections.

The court ruled the appeal as "unfounded," with the decision being final.

Vlad Alexandrescu, a DREPT leader, criticized the verdict in a Facebook post, noting that it legitimizes alleged manipulations.

The REPER party on Friday also called for cancellation of the parliamentary elections.

On Wednesday, the Central Electoral Bureau revealed that seven political parties have crossed the electoral threshold to enter Parliament.

The PSD led with 22.4 percent of the Senate vote and 21.96 percent for the Chamber, followed by the Alliance for the Union of Romanians with 18.3 percent and 18.01 percent, respectively. The PNL ranked third with 14.28 percent in the Senate and 13.2 percent in the Chamber.

Other parties meeting the threshold include the USR, the S.O.S. Romania, the Party of Young People, and the UDMR. Enditem
