Former MP Alexandru Stoianoglo announced that he intends to run for the post of Governor of Gagauzia. The politician has told IPN that he will run independently and thus asked to be excluded from the Democratic Party.

Alexandru Stoianoglo noted that he will submit the application for being registered as a candidate the next few days.

The first round of the elections to choose the Governor of Gagauzia will take place on March 22. The second round, if necessary, will be held on April 5. Earlier, Democratic MP Nicolai Dudoglo was proposed for the post of Governor by the Movement “New Gagauzia”.

The term in office of current Governor Mihail Formuzal end on February 14.
