Incumbent Basescu sweeps up an overwhelming 90 percent of Moldovan vote

Unimedia writes that incumbent Traian Basescu won more than 90 percent of the ballots cast by Romanian citizens living in Moldova.

Just under 9,000 Romanians voted in Moldova, which constitutes one of the highest turnouts in the world and makes up for about 10 percent of the total diaspora vote.

Mr. Basescu is followed by National Liberal Crin Antonescu and Social Democrat Mircea Geoana, both of whom received under four percent.
