Overview

• With roughly 85% to 94% of ballots counted, the pro‑European PAS is at about 45% to 47.6% while the pro‑Russian Bloc Patriotic is near 26% to 28%.
• Turnout is reported at about 52%, and final tallies remain pending as diaspora and Transnistrian votes are still being processed and scrutinized.
• The Central Electoral Commission’s figures followed a tense voting day in which Moldova’s cybersecurity service said it detected and neutralized attempted attacks on electoral infrastructure.
• Authorities say they conducted more than 600 searches since August 1 tied to electoral corruption and destabilisation, as President Maia Sandu and the EU accuse Russia of large‑scale disinformation and vote‑buying; Moscow denies the claims.
• Analysts do not rule out a fragmented parliament as counting continues, and opposition leader Igor Dodon has urged a Monday demonstration to "defend the vote."
