Moldova Counts 100% Of Votes Sandu's Party Wins

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This is evidenced by data from the Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Moldova, reported by Ukrinform.

Thus, three parties and two blocs will enter the new parliament.

As noted, the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) received a total of 50.2% of the vote. In second place is the pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc (24.17%), followed by the Alternative Bloc (7.96%). Also entering parliament are the Eurosceptic Our Party (6.20%) and the pro-European Democracy at Home Party (5.62%).

Other parties and independent candidates failed to clear the electoral threshold, as they received less than 1% of the vote.

Voter turnout stood at 52.21%.

On September 29, President Maia Sandu held a press conference dedicated to the parliamentary elections held the previous day. She thanked citizens for participating in the vote, emphasizing that every ballot mattered.

“We showed the whole world that we are a country of brave and dignified people. We did not succumb to bribery, threats, or intimidation, but united and defended our country through fair voting... Yesterday and throughout the campaign, we demonstrated that we know how to stand together when the future of our country is at stake,” Sandu declared.

The President added that the election results do not reflect the victory of a particular party or individual voters.

“This is the country's victory. And this victory must be used for the benefit of all citizens, regardless of whom they voted for. Moldova is our common home, and we all want the same thing: to live in peace, in freedom, to give our children a safe future here at home. The shortest path to these goals is the European path,” the head of state stressed.

She also pointed out that throughout the entire pre-election period, the Kremlin“tried to divide citizens and undermine their faith.”

“This campaign showed that we do have vulnerabilities, but we also have strong institutions and people dedicated to their mission. In these elections, we saw that society and state institutions have become more resilient. But we still have much work to do,” Sandu said.

According to the President, the next step must be judicial reform.

“In a democracy, society lives by the law, and the law must apply equally to all. We must finally eradicate this shameful phenomenon of vote-buying, first and foremost by punishing everyone who organized such schemes and lured people into these traps. Political parties must strictly comply with the provisions of the law on financing. Combating disinformation is more difficult, but here too solutions must be found,” the Moldovan President added.

As reported by Ukrinform, Moldova held parliamentary elections on September 28. The vote was preceded by documented large-scale attempts by the Russian Federation to influence the outcome and secure victory for pro-Russian forces.

Heads of European institutions and leaders congratulated the Moldovan people on their aspiration for a European future.

Meanwhile, a protest took place on Monday. According to Moldovan media and the country's police, pro-Russian forces in Moldova had prepared a paid protest in Chișinău on September 29, following the parliamentary elections. On the eve of the vote, the leader of the Socialists and co-founder of the Patriotic Electoral Bloc, Igor Dodon, called on citizens to protest and allegedly“defend the victory.”
