Backed by the country’s large diaspora, Sandu won 55.41 percent of votes, according to near-complete results published by the election commission.
Her rival, Alexandr Stoianoglo, who is supported by the pro-Russian Socialists, won 44.59 percent.
Sunday’s key vote was overshadowed by allegations of Russian meddling. It took place just two weeks after a referendum in which Moldavans voted by a razor-thin margin to back joining the EU.
“Moldovans have shown once again their determination to build a European future despite hybrid attempts to undermine democracy,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell posted on X on Monday.
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen also congratulated Sandu on her re-election and the country’s “European future”.
