Moldova's ruling party will nominate Alexandru Munteanu as the new prime minister, following Dorin Recean's resignation. The PAS party aims to steer Moldova away from Russian influence.
CHISINAU (Reuters) -Moldova's pro-European ruling party will nominate financier Alexandru Munteanu to be the country's new prime minister, the head of the party, Igor Grosu, said on social media on Tuesday.
Munteanu, an economist who also founded an investment firm, has not previously held political office.
Incumbent Prime Minister Dorin Recean, in office since February 2023, said on Monday he would step down and leave politics.
President Maia Sandu's Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) clinched a majority in parliament following the September 28 election, and will appoint a new government in coming weeks tasked with taking former Soviet republic Moldova further out of Russia's orbit.
