Ruling Alliance members still unsure whether they will manage to elect a Speaker tomorrow

The new legislature has its first meeting on Friday. Members of the Alliance for European Integration have said that they would like to elect the Parliament's leadership structure, including a Speaker, but were not sure if that would happen.

"We will see," said Liberal Democrat Vlad Filat. "I hope we elect the Parliament's leadership," he continued.

Liberal Party head Mihai Ghimpu noted that "it is not important when we elect a Speaker ... because a Speaker will be elected anyway."
