On September 21, 2024, Tarlev announced that he would be running for President for the Future of Moldova party with the slogan "development, welfare, peace." [7]

He stated that his candidacy's program is based on ten objectives, including growing and strengthening the economy, supporting young families, improving the health and education system. [7] The center of his campaign is increasing jobs, calling for mass industrialization as well as modernization of Moldova's farms. [8]

Tarlev has called for normalization of relations with Russia to create a "balanced foreign policy" which he claims will increase jobs and reduce natural gas prices. [9] He also stated that not pursuing a "neutral" foreign policy would bring war to Moldova, and that he is against joining a military bloc like NATO. [8]

Tarlev stated that if he is elected President he would work to remodel the office so that it was like the United States. [9] He also called to reform the country's judiciary, saying that “I swear, the Constitution will always guide me, as will the Bible” and that he would work to make the judiciary more independent from the governing party. [8]

Tarlev was endorsed by former Governor of Gagauzia Valeri Ianioglo and Constitutional Court president Dumitru Pulbere. [8]

Tarlev would lose in the first round, earning 49,317 votes or 3.19% of the electorate, placing in sixth. [10]
