After processing 100% of the protocols from polling stations inside the country, Stoyanoglo won 51.19% of the votes, Sandu — 48.81%. However, after processing 100% of the protocols from all polling stations, including those located abroad, Sandu, which is supported by the pro-Western Action and Solidarity party, won 55.33% of the vote, while Stoyanoglo won 44.67% of the vote.
The former president of Moldova, one of the leaders of the Patriotic Bloc, Igor Dodon, after announcing the preliminary results at a spontaneous rally outside the CEC building, announced the victory of the opposition in the domestic elections. He also noted the falsifications at foreign polling stations and promised to defend this victory at a peaceful protest scheduled for September 29 in the center of Chisinau. Dodon invited all opposition parties to support this action.
