Parliament decided today to set the Presidential election for October 23. Legislators also formed a committee that will coordinate the registration of candidates and preparations for the election.
It is unclear if the ruling Alliance for European Integration will manage to elect a head of state since it needs eight more seats in order to reach the 61-vote requirement for the election of the President. Those votes can only come from the Party of Communists, which has recently said it would not vote for an Alliance candidate.
If Moldova does not have an elected President by mid-November, early elections will be set for 2010.
