Caraman noted that one party had to reapply after an initial rejection for incomplete documentation. Meanwhile, interest from independents has reached a record high, with eleven individuals seeking candidacy — a first for the country.
Two independents have already formed initiative groups and received signature collection lists, as required by electoral law.
To enter parliament, blocs must receive 7% of the vote, parties 5%, and independents 2%. In the previous election, no independent succeeded in crossing the threshold.
Caraman urged all candidates to follow the legal procedures and deadlines. The upcoming election will determine Moldova’s next parliament for a four-year term.
