Maia Sandu has won a second term as Moldova's president, defeating pro-Russian candidate Alexander Stoyanoglou, marking a significant victory for the pro-European camp.

The close election results reflect a deeply divided political landscape in Moldova, with nearly equal support for pro-European and pro-Russian candidates. Sandu's victory is expected to strengthen Moldova's ties with the European Union, particularly in the context of recent geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe.

Sandu's administration may focus on reforms aimed at integrating Moldova more closely with European structures. The political climate in Moldova could lead to increased tensions between pro-European and pro-Russian factions as parliamentary elections approach.


Maia Sandu Secures Second Presidential Term in Moldova

Moldovan President Maia Sandu has been declared the winner of a second term following a closely contested election, solidifying the pro-European stance of the country against pro-Russian influences. With 93% of the votes counted, Sandu received 50.9% while her rival, Alexander Stoyanoglou, backed by the pro-Russian Socialists, garnered 49.1%. This election outcome is seen as a significant victory for Moldova's European aspirations, especially after a recent referendum that favored EU membership.

In her victory speech delivered at campaign headquarters in Chisinau, Sandu expressed gratitude to those who supported democracy, stating, "Today, dear Moldavians, you have won. You have given a lesson in democracy that deserves to be written in history books." She emphasized her commitment to serve all citizens, regardless of their political affiliations, and highlighted the importance of preparing for upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for next summer.
