[1] After the constitutional referendum failed to meet the 33% turnout required to validate the results, the Constitutional Court of Moldova ruled that acting president of Moldova, Mihai Ghimpu had to dissolve the parliament and hold new elections.

Ghimpu then announced that the parliament would be dissolved on 28 September 2010 and new elections would be held on 28 November 2010.

After two failed attempts the Parliament must be dissolved and the interim president must set the date for a new parliamentary election.

[4] There were two exit polls made for two TV stations, both failing to predict the outcome within the margin of error: The Communists (PCRM) won 42 seats, while the Liberal Democrats (PLDM) won 32, the Democratic Party (PDM) 15, and the Liberals (PL) 12.

This gave the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) 59 seats, two short of the 61 needed to elect a President.
