The record turnout shows how engaged our citizens are and how much we care about the future of Romania and Moldova,” wrote the speaker on his Facebook account.

Grosu emphasized that the vote of Moldovans demonstrates the common European future of citizens on both sides of the Prut River.

“Our heart beats with great love for the Romanian nation, for the common European future of citizens on both sides of the Prut River,” Grosu said.

The Speaker congratulated Nicușor Dan on his victory in the presidential elections.

President Maia Sandu also extended congratulations, emphasizing that Moldova will stand alongside Romania on the European path.

Premier Dorin Recean highlighted in his message that Moldovans are strong when united for a European future.

According to the provisional results, Nicușor Dan received votes from 5,968,417 Romanian citizens or 53.99%. His opponent, the leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), George Simion, received 5,086,305 votes or 46.01%. The voter turnout was 11,641,866 or 64.72%.
