Moldova’s pro-Western ruling party has decisively won a parliamentary election, widely seen as a stark East-West choice and marred by Russian interference claims.
With nearly all polling stations reporting, electoral data confirmed the pro-European Union Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) secured 50.1 per cent of the vote. The pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc followed with 24.2 per cent, while the Russia-friendly Alternativa Bloc came third, ahead of the populist Our Party.
