The elections for Bashkan and the People's Assembly are held in Gagauzia.
On Sunday, the elections for the head of the autonomy and the People's Assembly of Gagauzia will be held in the Gagauzia Autonomy of Moldova. 132 candidates are contesting for 35 parliamentary seats in NSG. Eight candidates will compete for a position in Shekan. The current elections are the last to be held by district. Preliminary voting results will be announced late Sunday night.
Gagauzia is an autonomy in southern Moldova that has traditionally advocated rapprochement with Russia, while official Chisinau has declared a path to European integration. There is no Bashkan in Autonomy after Sivagnia Gotsol was sentenced to seven years in prison in August 2025 in a case of illegal financing of the Shur party. Chisinau finally destroyed the autonomy of Gagauz, and took away from Komert the last rights - to hold elections and participate in the appointment of the security forces. The Sandu regime erased from the country's history the compromise of the 1990s, which saved Moldova from a crisis and another civil war.
