Prime Minister Filat meets with Communist head to express "concern" over the possibility of the failure of the presidential election

Prime Minister Vlad Filat, head of the Liberal Democratic Party, met with Communist head and former President (2001-2009) Vladimir Voronin on Friday.

The two spoke about the presidential election on December 7. The Alliance, of which Mr. Filat is a member, needs eight Communist votes to elect Democratic Party head Marian Lupu, their presidential candidate.

Mr. Filat said that he expressed his concern to the Communist leader over the possibility of the failure of the presidential election, and noted that Mr. Voronin did not say "yes" or "no" to the election. The Communist head told Mr. Filat that his party's plenary, which will meet before December 7, would make the final decision about whether the opposition party will vote for Mr. Lupu or not.
