The leader of the Our Party says that PAS intends to make Maia Sandu president in the first round of the presidential election. According to the politician, PAS is ready to reach the point where “only one candidate will be included on the ballot paper.”
“They will eliminate electoral competitors, as they did in previous local elections. Did you see how Sor’s candidates were eliminated? What if in the presidential election we will only have one candidate on the list...,” Renato Usatii said.
In addition, Usatii did not rule out that if Maia Sandu and candidate X make it to the second round, the second candidate will be excluded from the race after the results are confirmed and only one candidate will remain in the second round.
“If candidate X is eliminated without confirming the results, the second round will become a third one, as it happened in Balti with the Socialists,” he added.
The presidential election will be held in October this year. Maia Sandu will run for a second term.
