Chisinau\/ Moldova.ORG\/ — The Constitutional Court deemed unconstitutional the December 16 elections because the confidentiality of the vote wasn’t respected.

During the previous elections, on December 16 some deputies showed their ballots in front of the cameras to prove that they have voted for Marian Lupu, the only candidate who ran for presidency. The Court took such a decision following an application filed by Deputy Mihai Godea, who asked the Court to decide on the legality of the December 16 elections.<\/p>\n
