Moldova is currently holding a presidential run-off election amid concerns of vote buying and foreign interference, particularly from pro-Russian elements. Incumbent President Maia Sandu, who secured 42.5% of the vote in the first round, is vying for re-election against Alexandr Stoianoglo, a pro-Russian candidate who received 26% in the initial voting. Sandu has warned voters not to fall prey to corrupt practices, asserting that their collective power is greater than that of corrupt forces. Voter turnout has been reported at approximately 43%, with a significant number of Moldovans also voting from abroad. As the election unfolds, authorities are investigating reports of organized efforts to influence the vote, including cash-for-votes schemes. The outcome of this election is critical as Moldova seeks EU membership amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
