Opposition parties won a majority of parliamentary seats in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova. With about 98 percent of the votes counted, the ruling Communist party received only 45 percent of the vote, a drop of about five percent since the April elections that were marred by charges of vote rigging and violent protests.  Miles Ashdown reports from Moldova’s capital, Chisinau.
