The leader of PAS, Maia Sandu reacted at the PPDA’s ultimatum regarding the single candidate, specifically to nominate Andrei Nastase as a mutual candidate, but if PAS will not consent this formula, then PPDA will support Maia Sandu in the Presidential elections.

On her Facebook account, Maia Sandu writes that: "We live decisive moments for our country. That is why it is important to keep the calm and to take rational decisions together".

The reaction of the PAS leader came after a few minutes after the Political Bureau of PPDA stated that today they decided to nominate Andrei Nastase as a single nominee from the democratic and anti-oligarchic forces, but "if until Thursday at 14:00 the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS) will not consent to this formula" then PPDA will support the PAS nominee at the Presidential elections.      

"The designation of Andrei Nastase as the single candidate for the elections on October 30, 2016, the Action and Solidarity Party will have the right to submit their candidate for the Prime Minister position. Given the fact that we passed all the time limits, we are waiting for the reaction of our partners until October 13, at 14:00, if our dialogue partner agrees to this formula, the Political Party "Platform Dignity and Truth" (PPDA) will participate in the presidential elections of October 30, 2016 by supporting in the campaign the candidate nominated by PAS," is said in the statement of PPDA.
