The parliamentary elections in Moldova in 2010 was held on 28 November 2010. She had become necessary after the election of a president had failed after the parliamentary elections in July 2009, in several sessions.

Advance

The government parties originally wanted that same time, the election of the president would be held. However, a referendum on 5 September 2010 on the re-introduction of direct election of the head of state failed because of an insufficient turnout.

In June 2010, the Parliament amended the electoral law; inter alia, the electoral threshold of 5 % was reduced to 4%. During the reign of the PCRM electoral legislation has been widely criticized as disadvantaged, which consists of several smaller parties then opposition against the big government party.

Election result

The Communist Party, which ruled Moldova up to the election in April 2009 with the election of the president required for three-fifths majority in Parliament, continued to lose ground. As with the last ballot in July 2009, the Communists had again a decrease of about 5% votes recorded. Nevertheless, they remain the largest party in parliament.

The government coalition of the " Alliance for European Integration" ( AEI) formed after the last parliamentary election was able to improve its share of the vote by 3%. The smallest of the four previous ruling parties, the Alliance "Our Moldova " ( AMN ), but missed with the details to be overcome to parliament four percent hurdle, making their votes (2.1 %) were actually lost for the coalition. Within the Western-oriented forces on three more or less equal parties and a smaller party ( the AMN ) have so far been distributed to a consolidation of the balance of power became apparent. While the AMN sank into insignificance, the Liberal Democrats ( PLDM ) reached under Prime Minister Vlad Filat with 29.4 % more votes than any other coalition partners.

The time required for the election of the president three-fifths majority was missed again by the government coalition AEI, if only to two mandates. If still no agreement between the opposing camps (AEI and communists ) is reached, threatens the continuation of the stalemate, which would lead according to the Moldovan Constitution to a renewed early parliamentary election.
