CHISINAU, April 9 (RIA Novosti) - Moldova's top election authorities plan to submit the results of the recent parliamentary elections for approval to the Constitutional Court on Friday, the Central Election Commission head said on Thursday.

"Late last night we concluded the final results of the parliamentary elections held in the country. Four parties made it to parliament, with 49.48% of the electorate voting for the Communist Party. The Liberal, the Liberal-Democratic parties and the Our Moldova alliance received 13.14%, 12.43% and 9.77% of the votes, respectively," Yury Chokan said.

The Constitutional Court should approve the final results of the elections within 10 days.

According to preliminary reports, the Communists will receive 60 seats in the 101-seat parliament, and the three opposition parties will hold the remaining 41 seats.

The election results led to riots in the Moldovan capital, Chisinau on Tuesday with some 10,000 young people taking to the streets in protests, which left over 270 people injured.
