Moldova election: Pro-EU party ahead as vote count underway

We're back in Chisinau at the election night headquarters of the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), which came to power in Moldova in 2021 on a staunchly pro-EU and pro-Western ticket.

Every now and then, we hear cheers from a room full of party members upstairs. For now, they have good reason to be optimistic: Early results show the party is out in front in the polls, with the pro-Russian opposition in second.

Pre-election polls showed PAS was projected to lose its majority and the final outcome of the vote is still far from clear.

PAS may find itself in need of coalition partners — something which could complicate the reform process needed for Moldova to become eligible to join the EU.
