Prime Minister Maia Sandu claims that she went to the polls today because she is a responsible citizen who cares about what the Republic of Moldova will look like from now on. "We need honest people in all public functions, including local public administration," said the chief of the executive after exercising her right to vote, IPN reports.

"I want to invite all citizens of the Republic of Moldova to go to the polls, because your vote today can help us strengthen our fight against the Mafia system. Because we see that lately some representatives of this system have the nerve to try hard to continue the corruption schemes at central and local level,” said Maia Sandu.

The head of the Cabinet of Ministers has mentioned that it is important to elect honest people, to continue the fight started at central level and to represent only the interests of the citizens of their settlements. "In the capital we have a lot of problems, which have accumulated because of irresponsible people who were in charge. I wish to see a responsible, brave mayor, a fighter, because in Chisinau the first thing to do is to wage total war on corruption. And also, I want this mayor to be supported by a responsible council, not by one that would boycott him,” said Maia Sandu.

Local elections are considered validated if they are attended by ¼ of the number of voters registered in the electoral lists.
