Overview

• Parliament speaker Igor Grosu said the Party of Action and Solidarity will submit Muntianu’s candidacy to President Maia Sandu after mandates are confirmed and factions are formed.
• Once the court validates the results, Sandu will convene the first session of the new parliament to start the government formation process.
• Official tallies assign PDS 55 of 101 seats, enabling a potential single‑party cabinet, with the Patriotic Bloc holding 26 mandates.
• PDS presents Muntianu as an economist, investor and Alliance Française leader; his bio cites studies at Moscow State University and a Columbia master’s, and a nationalist party leader criticized Grosu for omitting the Moscow degree in his post.
• Moldovan outlets report Muntianu has lived and worked in Ukraine for about two decades, and outgoing prime minister Dorin Recean has declined to stay on.
