Irina Vlah's Candidacy: Focusing on Moldova's People and Challenges

Irina Vlah, the former governor of Gagauzia, has announced her candidacy for the presidency of the Republic of Moldova.

According to her, her electoral platform will strictly focus on addressing the specific issues faced by the people and providing solutions for them.

"I am always with the people and alongside them. I am very familiar with the problems they face and their expectations," she stated during a press conference.

One year later, Irina Vlah participated in the elections in the Gagauz autonomy for the position of governor of the region, which she won with the support of the Socialist Party. She led Gagauzia until 2023, securing a second mandate as well.
