The repeat presidential elections scheduled for December 7 were boycotted by the Party of Communists. As a result, Alliance candidate Marian Lupu only managed to garner 53 votes, eight short of the 61 he needed to get elected.
Moldova is therefore headed for early legislative elections. It is unclear when these will take place, but, according to the law, they will have to be organized after August 2010.
Alliance members and Communist representatives accused each other of causing this situation.
