Alliance member: Fifty-percent chance of early elections

Democratic Party head Marian Lupu, a leading member of the Alliance for European Integration (AEI), told the press that there is a "50-percent chance of early elections" in Moldova.

Mr. Lupu is referring to the uncertainty regarding the Alliance's ability to convince at least eight Communist M.P.s to vote for President. The AEI has 53 seats in the legislature. The head of state can be elected with 61.
