Parliamentary elections were held in Moldova on 28 November 2010 after parliamentary vote failed to elect a President for the second time in late 2009.[1]

Background

After the constitutional referendum failed to meet the 33% turnout required to validate the results, the Constitutional Court of Moldova ruled that acting president of Moldova, Mihai Ghimpu had to dissolve the parliament and hold new elections. Ghimpu then announced that the parliament would be dissolved on 28 September 2010 and new elections would be held on 28 November 2010.[2]

Electoral system

The electoral threshold varied for different organisations; for electoral blocs of three or more parties it was 9%; for blocs of two parties it was 7%, and for individual parties it was 4%. Individual candidates could also run, but needed to receive at least 2% of the vote to win a seat. A total of 39 contestants; 20 political parties and 19 independent candidates.

The Constitution states that the Parliament must elect the President with a majority of at least 61 votes (from a total of 101). After two failed attempts the Parliament must be dissolved and the interim president must set the date for a new parliamentary election.[citation needed]

Campaign

The Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova, Democratic Party of Moldova and the Liberal Party formed the Alliance for European Integration in a coalition against the Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova.[3] The Alliance seeks integration into the European Union.

Opinion polls

According to the Chişinău-based Institute of Marketing and Polls IMAS-INC, a poll during the period of July 26-August 12 showed 42% of respondents trusted PLDM, 35% trusted PCRM, 35% - PDM and 30% - the Liberal Party.[4]

Exit polls

There were two exit polls made for two TV stations, both failing to predict the outcome within the margin of error:

Institute Margin of error % of seats
PCRM PLDM PDM PL AMN
IRES poll (made for Publika TV)[7][8][9] ±1%[10] 26% (29) 34.4% (37) 15.1% (17) 15.6% (18) 3.1% (0)
CBS AXA poll (made for Prime TV)[7][11][12] <2%[13] 33.8% (37) 32.2% (35) 14.1% (17) 10.2% (12) 3% (0)

Results

Election map showing the results by administrative divisions of Moldova.

The Communists won 42 seats, while the Liberal Democrats won 32, the Democratic Party 15, and the Liberals 12. This gave the Alliance for European Integration 59 seats, two short of the 61 needed to elect a President. The result thus maintained the status quo following the contemperaneous constitutional deadlock.

Observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the Council of Europe lauded the election, with the head of the Parliamentary Assembly delegation of OSCE, Tonino Picula, saying "These elections reflected the will of the people."[3]

Aftermath

Even though the Alliance for European Integration did not get the supermajority needed to elect the president, the leaders of the three parties of the alliance pledged a new coalition agreement on 30 December. Their new cabinet was installed on 14 January 2011, when an investiture vote took place in parliament.[14]

Moldova's highest court ruled on 8 February 2011 that the government could stay in place without early elections even if they were still unable to elect a new president.[15]
