Sandu’s Party Wins Majority in Moldova’s Parliamentary Elections

Moldova’s pro-European Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), led by President Maia Sandu, has secured more than 50% of the vote in Sunday’s parliamentary elections.

The Gaze reports this, referring to nearly complete results released by the Central Election Commission, cited by European Pravda.

With 99.87% of ballots counted, PAS had won 50.15% of the vote, giving it an estimated 52–55 seats in the 101-member legislature. 

The outcome means Sandu’s party will hold a single-party majority for the next four years and be able to form a government without coalition partners.

The pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc, headed by former president Igor Dodon, came in second with about 24.19% of the vote, while the Alternative bloc finished third with just under 8%. 

Two smaller parties – the Eurosceptic “Our Party” and the pro-European “Democracy at Home” – also crossed the electoral threshold and will enter parliament. Other groups failed to pass the 5% barrier required for parties and the 7% threshold for blocs.

Turnout stood at just over 52%, with analysts noting that lower participation in pro-Russian regions helped boost PAS’s share of the vote. 

The result strengthens Sandu’s mandate to push ahead with her pro-European agenda, including reforms tied to Moldova’s EU membership ambitions.
