At a press briefing, the Democratic Party of Moldova (PDM) has presented its team of candidates for mayors and local councilors in several towns and villages of the country. “We focused on the most important qualities that people representing the PDM should have, especially in mayors’ offices. Central government is important, but it is no less important to ensure the act of government at the local level. I am very glad that we have a team of people with good qualities for such positions: hard-working, responsible, with serious life and work experience,” party chairman Marian Lupu said. // curentul.md

According to a decision of the Electoral Council of Electoral District no. 1 of Chisinau, independent candidate for municipality council membership Cristina Raducan has withdrawn from the electoral campaign for the general local elections of 14 June. The Council’s decision was approved as a result of the candidate’s application on 25 May.

Political parties’ lists for the local elections of 14 June, just like during previous elections, contain very few women and young people, who are placed closer to the end of lists. The finding was made by experts of the Partnership for Development Center (PDC) after analyzing electoral lists. The analysis showed that the largest representation of women is on the list of the “Democracy at Home” Party (over 60% of candidates are women). Parliamentary parties are closer to the end of the rating, and the Liberal Party has the smallest representation (a little over 23% of candidates are women). // IPN
