Maia Sandu has won a second term in office in the Moldovan presidential election.

With 98% of the ballots counted, Sandu led with 54.35% , the Central Election Commission said.

With only parts of the country’s diaspora vote still outstanding, analysts said Sandu was all but guaranteed to win re-election.

The tight result of the EU referendum has weakened Sandu ’s standing, placing her in direct opposition to Stoianoglo .

The former prosecutor general exceeded expectations with 26% of the vote on the Party of Socialists ’ ticket.

In last weekend's presidential debate, Sandu accused Stoanoglo of being a Trojan horse’ candidate for outside interests bent on seizing control of Moldova .

Stoanaglo has denied working on behalf of Russia and called for improved relations with Moscow .
