Overview
- Official results show PAS at roughly 50.2% versus about 24% for the Patriotic Bloc, giving the ruling party a narrow majority to form a government.
- Patriotic Bloc co-leader Igor Dodon rejected the outcome and urged supporters to rally outside parliament, while opposition groups filed complaints alleging violations.
- Moldova’s cybersecurity agency reported attempted attacks on electoral and government systems were detected and neutralized, and authorities confirmed false bomb threats at polling stations abroad.
- Turnout was about 51.9% with 264,000 votes cast overseas, and the diaspora’s role became a focal point of opposition criticism.
- The OSCE said the vote was competitive despite flaws, noting that last‑minute bans on two parties limited effective remedy for those groups.
