The PCRM have suggested that they would be willing to support an independent candidate for president.[3]
On August 8, 2009, four parties agreed to create the
Parliament held its first session on 28 August 2009.[citation needed] The Alliance for European Integration elected Mihai Ghimpu, leader of the Liberal Party as Parliament Speaker. It was announced on that date they would nominate Marian Lupu for President and Vlad Filat for Prime Minister.[4]
The Communist Party boycotted the session and challenged the legitimacy of Ghimpu's election on procedural grounds on 1 September, but the Constitutional Court decided on 8 September that the election had been valid.

The first election attempt on 10 November failed, as the PCRM boycotted the election. Another round was to be held within thirty days, and if the second attempt failed as well, early elections would be held in autumn 2010.[8] The second round was set for 7 December, and failed as well, with the same voting result.[9]
