Deputatul moldovean pro-rus Alexandr Stoianoglo va candida la funcția de bașcan al Găgăuziei

Moldovan deputy Alexandr Stoianoglo announced his candidacy for the Gagauzia governor position as an independent. He previously ran for Moldova's presidency in 2024 with a pro-Russian stance but lost to Maia Sandu. His 2024 campaign received support from Romanian TikTok influencers, which ended after media exposure. The Gagauzia elections are set for November 15, coinciding with local parliamentary elections. The region has a high degree of autonomy and a political inclination towards Russia rather than EU integration.
