PAS candidates won in 19 out of 32 district councils, but did not get a majority in any of them. The Socialists, who traditionally won the first place in the northern districts, came second. According to preliminary CEC data, PAS took first place in the district councils of Floresti, Singerei, Telenesti, Rezina, Ungheni, Calarasi, Orhei, Nisporeni, Straseni, Criuleni, Hincesti, Ialoveni, Anenii Noi, Leova, Cimislia, Causeni, Stefan-Voda, Cantemir and Cahul.
