Moldova's parliament voted on Thursday to set the date for parliamentary elections, which will take place on September 28.
The upcoming election is expected to be highly competitive, with President Maia Sandu's pro-Western Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) facing a strong challenge from a coalition led by Alexander Stoianoglo, the former prosecutor-general.
Sandu, who has championed Moldova's integration into the European Union and advocated for distancing the country from Moscow, may see her party's dominance in the legislature significantly reduced. Stoianoglo, who narrowly lost to Sandu in last year's presidential race, leads a coalition of three opposition parties. His platform promotes a balanced foreign policy, proposing closer ties with both Russia and the West, which resonates with many Moldovans who remain divided on their country's geopolitical direction.
The vote in the Moldovan parliament passed with 57 lawmakers supporting the motion, while 32 abstained. The election outcome could shape Moldova's future foreign policy and its relationship with both the EU and Russia.
