The Patriotic Electoral Bloc has 26 seats in Parliament, the Alternative Bloc has 8, Our Party has 6 and Democrația Acasă has 6 mandates
According to the data announced by the CEC chairwoman Angelica Caraman, 1,609,579 voters came to the polls and 2,274 polling stations were opened. 281,224 citizens voted abroad. Almost 7,900 party representatives followed the voting process abroad. The CEC received 99 complaints, most of which concerned the use of administrative resources.
According to Karaman, by the time of reporting on Thursday morning, October 16, 4 trials were pending. The Electoral Code states that the Constitutional Court confirms or does not confirm the legality of elections within ten days, but not before the final resolution of all complaints. In this context, the President of the CC, Domnica Manole, provided different information, stating that “all complaints have already been resolved at this point”.
According to the PAS representative Sergiu Gerciu, “the elections were fair, transparent and legal” – he asked to confirm the results.
The representative of the Patriotic Electoral Bloc, Adrian Lebedinski, called not to recognize the election results because of the numerous violations that the bloc believes were committed. In particular, he referred to the use of administrative resources, the identification of the PAS party with President Maia Sandu, the interference of officials from the country and abroad in the election campaign, the presence of signs of a “camouflaged bloc” represented by the same party, the invalidation of 30,857 ballots, i.e. almost one mandate.
Vasile Costiuc, leader of the Democrația Acasă party, rejected the accusations that he had been previously charged with social media violations, noting the lack of equal chances in the state media for all candidates. “We have been completely censored by the state media, and because of this obvious censorship, there is naturally a migration to the online space,” Costiuc said. But he asked that the election results be recognized.
The issue of “disinformation and manipulation in the online space” was discussed particularly acutely. The CEC chairwoman emphasized that in this regard “concerns remain” and there is a need for clearer regulation of the use of social networks, but this was “not able to influence the election results.” Nevertheless, this issue will be the CEC’s “homework”.
The CC judges deliberated for three and a half hours before announcing what was, in the opinion of most experts, a fully expected decision.
“The results of the parliamentary elections of September 28, 2025 are confirmed, the mandates of the elected deputies are approved…,” CC chairwoman Domnica Manole said and read out the entire roll call list of 101 deputies. The list of “reserve” deputies was also approved.
Now, by presidential decree, the Parliament should convene for its first plenary session. After consultations with the factions, the head of state nominates a candidate for the post of prime minister and appoints the government on the basis of a vote of confidence expressed to him by the Parliament.
The judges of the Constitutional Court are Domnica Manole and Sergiu Litvinenko, appointed by the Government, Ljuba Šova and Nicolae Rosca, appointed by the Parliament, and Viorica Puica and Ion Malanciuc, appointed by the Superior Council of Magistracy, whose composition was also approved by the last Parliament, in which the PAS party also had a majority.
