Moldova's pro-EU party takes decisive lead in election fraught with Russian interference claims

CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) — Moldova’s pro-Western ruling party has taken a decisive lead in a critical parliamentary election that was overshadowed by Russian interference claims. The race was widely viewed as a geopolitical choice between a path to the European Union or a drift back into Moscow’s fold.

The tense ballot pitted the governing pro-Western Party of Action and Solidarity, which has held a strong parliamentary majority since 2021, against several Russia-friendly opponents but no viable pro-European partners. But the party now looks on track to secure a majority of legislative seats.
