Overview

• Official results from the Central Electoral Commission give PAS 50.16% and about 55 of 101 seats, allowing it to govern alone.
• Turnout was roughly 51.9% as the diaspora proved decisive, with PAS taking about 78.5% of approximately 276,000 overseas ballots.
• Election day featured large-scale cyberattacks on government and electoral sites and bomb threats at overseas polling stations, with more than 14 million attack attempts logged.
• Opposition leader Igor Dodon and the BEP say they will not recognize the outcome until alleged irregularities are reviewed, while the Kremlin claims hundreds of thousands in Russia were unable to vote due to only two polling places.
• Moldovan authorities report arrests linked to alleged plans for post-vote disturbances directed by a GRU operative, as EU leaders congratulated the country and President Maia Sandu called the result a mandate to advance EU accession.
