CHISINAU, Moldova (Reuters) – The head of Moldova’s Election Commission said on Friday that several officials overseeing the first round of the country’s presidential election had been accused of corruption and would be replaced for Sunday’s run-off vote.
“Some members of election commissions, including chairpersons, secretaries and clerks are included in documents put together by police and prosecutors,” commission head Angela Caraman said in a statement. “Some of them have already been removed from electoral bodies.”
