Presidential elections in Moldova
On November 3, the second round of presidential elections was held in Moldova, where the main rivals were the incumbent President Maia Sandu and the candidate from the Party of Socialists, former prosecutor Oleksandr Stoyanoglou.
According to the voting results, Sandu won 55.35% of the vote and defeated her pro-Russian opponent.
World leaders congratulated Sandu on November 3 and 4, and international observers generally assessed the election process positively.
At the same time, Russia and its agents attempted to interfere in the electoral process to influence the results.
Among the examples of such interference, Councilor Sandu cited the organized transportation of voters from Transnistria, which is illegal under the Moldovan electoral code. As of 11:00, the turnout among Transnistrian voters had already exceeded the total for the entire first round.
