Pro-EU president Maia Sandu faces Alexandr Stoianoglo in polls marred by accusations of Kremlin vote-buying
Moldovans will head to the polls on Sunday for a second-round vote to choose between the incumbent pro-EU president, Maia Sandu, and a Russia-friendly challenger.
Despite securing 42% of the vote in the first round, Sandu faces a tough challenge in the runoff against an opposition bloc led by Alexandr Stoianoglo of the Socialist party, which aligns with Moscow.
