  Background

  • Moldova votes on 28 September 2025. The ruling pro‑EU PAS faces the newly formed pro‑Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc (BEP); potential kingmakers include Our Party (PN) and the nominally pro‑European Alternative bloc (BA). (reuters.com)

  • BEP is a four‑party alliance: PSRM (Socialists), PCRM (Communists), PRIM (Heart of Moldova), and PVM (Future of Moldova). If BEP governs as a bloc, use “BEP.” (en.wikipedia.org)

  • BA (“Alternative”) launched in January 2025, associated with Ion Ceban, Alexandr Stoianoglo, Ion Chicu, and Mark Tkachuk. (en.wikipedia.org)

  • Moldova uses nationwide PR with thresholds: 5% for parties, 7% for blocs, 2% for independents—relevant for coalition math. (en.wikipedia.org)
