[]
The Dispatch
With around 93% of votes counted, the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) had 47% versus 27% for the Patriotic Bloc, which opposes closer ties with Brussels.
👏🇲🇩 GOOD NEWS FOR MOLDOVA: PAS has secured 51 seats — a clear majority.
Holding on to its parliamentary majority would allow the party to keep Moldova’s EU bid on track, a process requiring years of concerted legislative efforts.
President Maia Sandu’s government warned Moldovans that Russia had attempted to sway the vote through widespread disinformation and vote-buying.
In the days leading up to the vote, election officials barred two pro-Russian parties from the ballot amid allegations of illegal financing.
