Thus, the Alternative political bloc includes the National Alternative Movement Party, led by the mayor of Chisinau municipality, Ion Ceban, the Party of Development and Consolidation of Moldova, led by the former PM, Ion Chicu, the Civic Congress, led by Mark Tkaciuk, a former MP and adviser of ex-president of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, as well as the team of the former prosecutor general, Alexandr Stoianoglo, who ran for the office of Moldova’s president at the ballot on 20 October 2024.
