Communist M.P. Grigore Petrenco told the press during the weekend that the Party of Communists has not yet made a decision about nominating a presidential candidate, but that his party will most likely not do so.
Legally, there have to be at least two presidential candidates in order for the election to be valid. Right after April 5, 2009, the opposition at the time refused to nominate a candidate, as a result of which the Communists put forth two of them. The presidential election still failed because the opposition refused to vote for the Communist candidate. Early elections were as a result organized on July 29, 2009.
Alliance for European Integration leaders said that they may have to nominate a second candidate, as well, if the Communists refuse to do so.
The ruling coalition's nominee is Democratic Party head Marian Lupu. The Communists have said that they will not vote for Mr. Lupu because he is a "traitor" and a "leech." Mr. Lupu left the Communists after April 2009.
