The Moldovan government has imposed itself on the pro-Russian bloc, according to the first results

For the time being, however, it is unknown whether the official party will have enough seats to govern alone, as in the 2021 elections.

The pro-European PAS party, which governs Moldova, has won 41% of the votes in the parliamentary elections, according to the first results provided by the Central Electoral Board (CEC), but it is not yet known whether this result will be sufficient to remain in power.

After counting almost 40% of the ballot papers, the Patriotic Electoral Bloc, which advocates strengthening ties with Moscow, is second with 30% of the vote.

Then there is the Alternative Bloc, with 7.75% of the votes, and then the House of Democracy, with 6.91% of the votes.

For the time being, it is unknown whether the official party will be able to govern alone, as in the 2021 elections.

There has been considerable participation in the elections, both in the country and abroad, and there have been numerous accusations between the government and the opposition about attempts to manipulate the vote.

Indeed, the vote of the Moldovan diaspora for Europe was key to advancing the referendum on accession to the European Union (EU) by 2024, a goal that Chisinau wants to achieve by 2030.

For its part, the pro-Russian opposition has said that the people voted for change today and that they will defend it in a demonstration called for tomorrow in the Moldovan capital.
