The people in a Romanian village have re-elected their late mayor who succumbed to COVID-19 a couple of weeks back. They believe he deserved this win because he did a good job, as per a TNN report.?
Reports say that Ion Aliman was re-elected for a third term in Deveselu. But this landslide win came after his death from COVID-19 complications just a few days before the elections.?
A viral video shows the villagers visiting his grave after the elections were over.?
¡°It is your victory. Know that you will be proud of us. Rest in peace," a man can be heard saying.?
As per reports, Aliman's death came too late and his name could not removed from the ballot. He would have turned 57 on the day of the election.?
They came to honour him.?
None of the other contenders got the same trust from the voters,¡± Aliman's deputy Nicolae Dobre told a local TV station.?
Just goes to show that when you have the respect of the people, even death cannot separate you from the post they want you to take.?
It indicates the trust and faith they had in him which is just lovely to see.
Romania has over 125,000 cases and nearly 5000 deaths. Worldwide we have nearly 3.4 crore affected and over 10 lakh dead.?
