They shall contain the written consent of the candidate, a health certificate, a statement of earnings for the period 2008-2009 and a resume. One candidate must be endorsed by at least 15 MPs. The Moldovan Parliament will hold a repeat presidential vote on May 28 after it failed to elect a succesor to Vladimir Voronin on May 20. Voronin announced on Wednesday that ex-premier Zinaida Greceanyi, who earned 60 votes out of 61 necessary in the first attempt, would remain the Communists' first choice for the presidency.
