Dodon Returned to the Post of PSRM Head

The incumbent President Igor Dodon returned to the post of Chairman of the Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Party. He announced this after an extraordinary meeting of the Republican Council of the political formation. "During the discussions, I gratefully accepted the offer of the Republican Council of the Party of Socialists to return to the post of party leader. The corresponding procedures will be carried out after the expiration of my presidential mandate on December 23 this year," Dodon said on Facebook. He also thanked the leadership and all party members, including the regional departments, "for their active support and tremendous work during the election campaign." “I emphasized that, despite the result obtained this is a great experience for all of us, and we have to continue constructive work in the name of our people, especially considering the fact that almost half of the voters within Moldova voted for my candidacy. In particular, the difference between me and my rival in the polling stations in the country had only 27 thousand votes, so our team worked brilliantly, "Dodon said. Recall, after being elected president on November 18, 2016, Igor Dodon left the PSRM and yielded the post of party chairman to Zinaida Greceanîi. On November 16, 2020, after it became known about the election of Maya Sandu as President of Moldova, the PSRM invited Dodon to return to the post of party chairman.
