Mihai Ghimpu
Acting President
An indirect presidential election was held in Moldova on 10 November 2009 and 7 December 2009, following the parliamentary election held in July 2009.
A first attempt had failed in May–June 2009 after the parliamentary election in April 2009, forcing a snap election and a second presidential election afterwards. Should this election fail again, the constitution forbids a second early election in the same year, which would mean that snap elections would be held in early 2010.
The PCRM have suggested that they would be willing to support an independent candidate for president.
On August 8, 2009, four parties agreed to create the Alliance For European Integration, which will push the Communist party into opposition. The Alliance For European Integration needs to elect a new president, an action which will be impossible without having the support of at least 8 Communist MPs. The Alliance For European Integration has a narrow majority of 53 deputies out of 101 in the Moldovan Parliament, while the Communists have 48. At least 61 votes are needed to elect the new president.
