Party of Communists (PC) head and former Moldovan President (2001-2009) Vladimir Voronin visited Nisporeni yesterday to meet with local PC officials. According to Unimedia sources from the meeting, Mr. Voronin promised that the Communists would not vote for an Alliance presidential candidate and that the party should be getting ready for early elections.
The ruling Alliance for European Integration currently holds 53 seats in the legislature, eight short of the 61 it needs to elect a President. The Communists have said they will not vote for an Alliance candidate. At the same time, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev recently met with Marian Lupu, the Alliance's candidate, which many analysts said was a sign to the PC that it is no longer in Russia's favors.
The presidential elections are scheduled for October 23, 2009. If these fail, repeat elections will be called. If Moldova does not have a head of state after repeat elections, early legislative elections will be called for 2010.
