Maia Sandu wins second term in Moldovan election in rebuke to Kremlin

Pro-Western incumbent Maia Sandu has secured a second term as Moldova’s president, according to preliminary election results, bolstering the country’s EU aspirations and signaling a rejection of Russian influence.

In the runoff, Sandu received 54.35% of the vote against Kremlin-aligned candidate Alexandr Stoianoglo.

With significant support from the Moldovan diaspora, her victory is seen as a key endorsement of her pro-EU agenda.

Sandu vowed to represent all citizens in her victory speech, emphasizing the importance of democracy.

The election, marred by allegations of Russian interference and vote-buying, has drawn the attention of the EU, which pledged substantial support for Moldova’s accession efforts, The Guardian has reported.
