No - George Simion won the first round of the election with 22.9% of the vote.
This was annulled as you say due to Russian election interference.
Then it was ran back and he won the first round again.
Then in the second round, the runoff, he lost. That’s what just happened.
You can argue that you shouldn’t annul elections due to interference, if you want to you can even argue that this was a pro-Europe conspiracy
But factually he at no point won the election, and when they reran the first round he was not only still a candidate, his vote share actually increased.
But he still lost the second round.
So if you ask me this coup theory doesn’t hold much water

He didn’t get banned, he ran again, won the first round and lost the second round
Thanks for the correction. I will delete my previous comments because of their inaccuracies.
