The meeting is public and can be followed live on the Internet, but only invited persons have access to the meeting room of the Constitutional Court (CC).

If the elections are validated by the Constitutional Court, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, will convene the new Parliament within a month at most.

Then, the elected will choose the president of the Parliament, the vice-presidents and form the fractions, having a term of no more than 10 days. Also, consultations will be organized between the parliamentary factions and the leader from Chisinau, and after these, President Maia Sandu will appoint a prime minister who, in a maximum of 15 days, will have to present the list of ministers and the government program.

Afterwards, the investiture of the Government will follow. In no more than 14 days after the vote of the parliamentarians, the head of state will sign the decree, and the members of the Cabinet of Ministers will take the oath.

The electoral authority from Chisinau validated the result of the parliamentary elections during the meeting on October 5, and the report, which also includes the list of elected deputies, was sent to the Constitutional Court.

Thus, the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), which obtained the largest number of votes, i.e. 50.20%, will have 55 mandates in the future Parliament.

PAS is followed by the Patriotic Bloc which recorded 24.17% of the votes and will have 26 mandates. In third place is the Alternative Bloc, with 7.96% of the votes and eight mandates. Our Party and the Political Party Democracy at Home (PPDA) obtained 6.20% and 5.62% respectively, each of which will hold six parliamentary seats.

Parliamentary elections were held on September 28, and the result is seen as a victory against Moscow which tried to influence the vote through an unprecedented campaign of interference.
