Communist Party candidate for the capital leadership, Dodon, thanked the voters who gave him the vote of confidence. He said he would not allow to steal him the victory and looks puzzled by the fact that the CEC has not made public the election totals until now.

“I’m amazed that the CEC has not submitted the final data of the elections so far, giving us reason to doubt the correct counting of election registrated figures”, says Igor Dodon.

The Communist criticized exit poll results last night, saying they had the effect of manipulating the electorate which is in the list of voting fraud measures.

“We will not let them steal us our victory in this election. People wanted to put an end to this campaign in the first round and they are ready to protest against falsification of elections,” said Dodon. These comments occurred after publication of the results of the monitoring report conducted by Promo-Lex.

A series of incidents that took place during the day today could arouse complaints from the Communist electorate across the local election results and CEC activity, for the “delayed” processing, in their opinion, of the ballot papers. After exit poll results announced last night victory for the LP candidate, Chirtoaca, this morning we woke up with Dodon – as mayor. This happened when results were announced after “processing” of 99% of the vote, according to which Dodon wins first-round elections with 52% of the vote, while these figures were based on processing of 43%, not 99% as we were later informed by Iurie Ciocan, President of CEC.

It seems that the Communist electorate is subject to subtle manipulation tactics. These small “incidents, coincidences” have one purpose – to awaken discontent among voters of the Communist Party. Whatever the final outcome will be, Dodon’s supporters, already feeling the taste of victory, will challenge any deviation from the initial result they were induced. The communist candidate, as well, being not officially declared the winner, paves the way for lifting the masses in case the results will not favor him.

Although Dodon accuses CEC of “delay”, he is the most interested in the process delay and, respectively, heating spirits of his electorate. Following the incident with the wrong results of last night , Mr. President, Iurie Ciocan, is not willing for interpretation and commentary on his work and announced final data of June 5 election, the Election Commission is working urgently to provide final results as soon as possible. In this situation, any comparison with the early elections of 28 November 2010 is not relevant, since then there have been processed over 2,000 minutes in the electoral process, which number has increased three times, without changes in personnel involved in data processing.

Communist electorate can be easily manipulated, thus it’s easy to the leaders to instill them certain things. They are still obsessed with the USSR “melancholy”, considering the Communist Party able to provide bread for 13 kopecks and salami for 2.20 rubles.

Haking an active electorate, if necessary, Dodon will motivate to action “for not to stealing him the victory.” Will he have the conscience to sacrifice a part of his “patriots” to satisfy his political ambitions? Or Chisinau is being prepared a new 7, but, June 2011, already?

“According to political analysts, the Communist victory in Sunday’s local elections, especially a possible victory of the Communist candidate for the Chisinau City Hall would radically change the political game in Moldova. In their view, in this case, the communists will still refuse to vote the president and so, they will try to provoke early parliamentary elections because they feel “the wave” and the election results from yesterday has increased their desire for revenge ” , said Vitaly Calugareanu, journalist for Deutsche Welle.

According to the monitoring report conducted by Promo-Lex, as a result of the parallel vote count, Chirtoaca will get 46.76%, while his opponent, Dodon, will take 48.53%.

Ghimpu did not hesitate to come up with a reply with respect to the unofficial results. He said we will have the second round in the capital. “We have signatures indicating who obtained how much. We had polls during this period, stating Dorin goes further,” said Ghimpu.

The Liberal candidate, Chirtoaca, said that “according to the parallel count conducted by the PL, the result is 46% for Chirtoaca, and 47 percent for Dodon. He added that “after the final results are presented throughout the city, not only the districts of the capital, they’ll be ready with the statements”.

Note that at 20.00, 81% of the ballots were processed, the results were the following: Dodon, Communist Party candidate, won 52.15% of votes, while Chirtoaca, the LP candidate, 43.55%.
