Moldova's pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity secured a parliamentary majority on Sunday with 50.1 percent of ballots counted. The pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc finished second with 24.2 percent as electoral officials tallied results from nearly all precincts. President Maia Sandu's party will control approximately 55 of the 101 legislative seats when the new parliament convenes. The Moldovan diaspora cast decisive votes in the election outcome.
Authorities reported multiple disruptions during the voting process. Police arrested three suspects from the breakaway Transnistria region for allegedly planning mass disturbances with pyrotechnic devices. Bomb threats targeted overseas polling stations in Romania, Spain, Italy, and the United States. President Sandu accused Moscow of election interference, but Russian officials rejected the allegations as baseless.
