Ex-premier Zinaida Greceanii got 60 votes, while the university professor Stanislav Groppa had no vote. The elections will be resumed on May 28th.

For the election of the head there are necessary 61 votes.
In the room there were present 98 deputies, but, later, the members of the parties in opposition left the hall, coming back only after the finalization of the polling procedure. The party of the communists have 60 mandates, and the opposition parliamentary parties – PL, PLDM and AMN – 41 mandates together. To elect the president, PCRM lacks one vote, the so-called “ golden vote”, Unimedia informs.
