Igor Dodon, the Socialist Party candidate at Moldovan presidential elections, retains the leadership but fails to get 50 percent of the votes required to win the presidential elections in the first round, as all the ballots have been counted, according to Moldova's Central Election Commission (CEC), Sputnik International reported.
After 100 percent of the votes have been counted, Dodon holds 48.72 percent of the votes, while the runner-up Maia Sandu got 37.96 percent, the CEC said on its website. As a candidate needs to gain 50 percent and one vote to win the elections, Moldova is likely to hold the runoff on November 13. |
