- The ruling pro-EU party PAS won the parliamentary election with 50.16% of the vote, gaining a slim majority in Moldova's 101-seat parliament.
- The election was marred by allegations of Russian meddling and a large-scale disinformation campaign targeting voters.
- Experts cautioned that forming a stable government remains difficult due to potential unrest and efforts to destabilize the pro-European administration.
- Voter turnout was approximately 52%, and opposition leaders called for peaceful protests over claims of electoral fraud.
Russia threw everything dirty it had into the fight... It's not only PAS that won the elections, the people won.— Igor Grosu, leader of the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), told a press conference.
