Moldovan Parliament fails to elect president
May 20, 2009 at 13:19Former Prime Minister Zinaida Greceanii, a Communist, won 60 votes in Wednesday's ballot _ one short of the 61 needed. Another candidate did not win any votes.
Three opposition parties walked out in protest. The Communists hold 60 seats in the 101-seat legislature.
Parliament will vote again May 28. If it fails to elect a president, Parliament will be dissolved, and early elections will be called.
Moldova was the scene of violent protests that killed at least two people. Police arrested 200 people after the election.
