The second round of presidential elections will take place in Moldova on November 15, pitting incumbent president Igor Dodon against Maia Sandu, head of the pro-European opposition Party of Action and Solidarity.
After 94% of ballots were counted, Igor Dodon secured 35.7% versus Sandu’s 32.2%.
“In order to win in the second round, a candidate must secure 50% plus one vote, therefore a second round is needed to determine the winner”, - said Dodon.
The Central Electoral Commission must announce official results within five days after elections.
