Maya Sandu, who advocates European integration, announced victory in the second round of the presidential elections. The counting of votes has not yet been completed, but her rival, former Prosecutor General of the country Alexander Stoyanoglo, no longer has a chance to catch up with her.
Maya Sandu won thanks to the votes of Moldovans living abroad.
As of 03.30 local time, when the votes from 98.9 percent of the polling stations were counted, Maya Sandu received more than 55 percent of the votes, standing at less than 45 percent.
