According to the online scoreboard of the Central Electoral Commission, after the counting of just over 94% of ballots, the ruling party gained 47.4% of votes. This will allow it to get about 52-53 mandates of the 101-member parliamentary corps in the future parliament.
In second place is the Patriotic Bloc, gaining in the neighborhood of 26%. Another bloc “Alternative” received 8.5% of votes. Renato Usatii’s “Our Party” (6.3%) and the party “Democracy at Home” (5.68%) also have chances to pass to parliament.
However, the latter may fall below 5% and not get into the legislature. Its results inside Moldova were above 6%, but as the results from foreign polling stations began to come in, Democracy at Home began to lose support. And the 6% of ballots left to be counted are mostly from foreign precincts.
According to the Central Election Commission, turnout in Sunday’s election was 52.11%. Back in the middle of the day, the CEC declared the election valid based on turnout.
Opposition parties claim numerous violations and abuses in the elections, including at foreign polling stations and in Transnistria. All these allegations will be reviewed by the CEC and assessed by observers.
Logos Press will report the final election results and the assessments of international observers in subsequent publications.
