MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th September, 2018) The Constitutional Court of Moldova on Monday ruled that the chairman of the parliament or the prime minister could appoint two members of the government instead of President Igor Dodon thus temporarily suspending his on this issue, Constitutional Court chairman Mihai Poalelungi said.

Earlier, Moldovan Prime Minister Pavel Filip offered the president two candidates for the office of the heath minister and the agricultural minister but Dodon turned down both.

"There are circumstances that justify the temporary resignation of the president due to his refusal to appoint ministers, whose candidacies were repeatedly proposed by the prime minister," Poalelungi said.
