Moldova's pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity leads parliamentary elections with 46% of votes amid claims of Russian interference.

Moldova's parliamentary elections have seen the pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) leading with 46% of the votes, compared to 27% for the pro-Russian Patriotic Bloc, according to preliminary results. The elections, viewed as a critical geopolitical decision, were marred by allegations of Russian interference, including bomb threats at polling stations and cyberattacks on electoral infrastructure. Voter turnout reached 51.9%, with over 1.59 million ballots cast. President Maia Sandu reiterated claims of Russian meddling, stating her vote was for peace and a European future. The elections will determine the composition of a new 101-seat parliament, which will influence the nomination of a prime minister. The political landscape remains tense, with fears of destabilization following the vote.
