Maia Sandu said they collected over 27,000 signatures, but submitted almost 25,000 to the CEC. In the collection process, she found out what expectations the people have of the presidential elections.

According to the politician, the Republic of Moldova needs a new political class and the presidential elections can be the first step. “When I speak about a new political class, I speak about upright and honest people preoccupied with the people’s interests. The Republic of Moldova needs a political class of professions and people who know how to restructure and change this system and how to rebuild the state institutions in the people’s interests,” stated Maia Sandu.

The candidate for the office of President fielded by the Political Party “Our Party” Dumitru Chubashenko submitted the subscription lists earlier today. As a result of the draw, it was decided that Chubasheko will be sixth on the ballot, while Sandu will be seventh.
