Maia Sandu: Anti-Corruption Platform and Igor Dodon

maia sandu: His rival Maia Sandu, an ex-World Bank official who ran on an anti-corruption platform, had nearly 46 per cent, according to Brandon Sun. Everyone understands that I have won, he said later in Romanian just after midnight. Igor Dodon, who has promised to restore closer ties with Moscow and made comments in Russian immediately after the polls closed Sunday had just over 54 per cent of the votes, with more than 98 per cent of the ballots tallied. He thanked Sandu for waging a tough but good fight and said he would be a president for all Moldovans. As results came in, Dodon urged Moldovans to be calm. Dodon tapped into popular anger over corruption under the pro-European government that came to power in 2009, particularly over the approximately 1 billion that went missing from Moldovan banks before the 2014 parliamentary elections.
