# Moldova’s ruling pro-European party, led by president Maia Sandu, is on track for victory in a critical parliamentary election that was overshadowed by Russian interference claims. With 96-percent of the votes counted, Sandu’s Party of Action and Solidarity was leading with 46.6-percent of the vote, while the pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc had 26.6-percent. Polls suggest Sandu’s party will remain the largest party but could face challenges in her push to deliver on a pledge of European Union membership within a decade.
