Maia Sandu Secures Reelection as Moldova’s President Amid Controversial Vote
Maia Sandu has been re-elected as the President of Moldova, gaining 55% of the vote despite early predictions favoring her opponent, Alexandr Stoianoglo. Sandu’s victory was largely attributed to overwhelming support from Moldovans living abroad, where she secured over 80% of the votes. In her victory speech, delivered in both Romanian and Russian, Sandu acknowledged the divided state of the country and pledged to be a president for all. She condemned allegations of corruption and foreign interference during the election, highlighting ongoing investigations into attempts to manipulate the vote.
