The Moldovan people have exercised their democratic right to choose their own future, and they have chosen to pursue a path aligned with Europe and democracies everywhere even if, for months, Russia sought to undermine Moldova’s democratic institutions and election processes. But Russia failed, said U.S. President Joe Biden, who congratulated Maia Sandu on her “historic reelection as the President of Moldova”, IPN reports.
“On Sunday, the Moldovan people went to the polls and voted in favor of President Sandu’s vision for a secure, prosperous, and democratic Moldova. President Sandu’s reelection comes just two weeks after the Moldovan people passed a constitutional referendum in support of membership in the European Union,” says a statement published on the website of the White House.
After 100% of the votes cast in the runoff presidential election were counted, Maia Sandu emerged victorious with 55.33% of the ballot, becoming the President of the Republic of Moldova for a new term.
