 | | The Communist Party of Moldova, a former Kremlin favorite that has turned westward in recent years, appeared to have weathered its split with the Russian government and was likely to maintain the largest bloc in Moldova's Parliament, according to a survey of voters leaving the polls at today's election. |
 | | But the survey also suggested the party was much weaker than when it unexpectedly rose to power four years ago, and that two opposition groups had emerged as a potent challenge to the incumbent rule of President Vladimir Voronin, the Communist leader. |
 | | According to the Guardian Unlimited, the ruling Communist party, the last in Europe, won 40% of the vote, according to exit polls, on a ticket of EU integration and economic growth that bore no resemblance to its Soviet roots. |
