During his first term of office there was only one change of minister on October 28, 1993, when Ion Botnaru succeeded Nicolae Țîu as acting foreign minister.

Second cabinet from 1994 to 1997

After the parliamentary election in 1994, in which Sangheli himself was elected as a member of parliament as a candidate of the Agricultural Party (Partidul Agrar din Moldova) (DAPM) and the DAPM clearly won the election with 43.18 percent and 56 of the 104 parliamentary seats, took place on 5 April 1994 his confirmation as Prime Minister. On the same day, he presented his new cabinet, which included many members of his previous government. The new cabinet was composed as follows:

  • Deputy Prime Ministers Cunev, Ion Guțu, Valeriu Bulgari, Valeriu Bobuțac and Grigore Ojog,
  • Economy Minister Bobuțac,
  • Minister of State Gheorghe Gusac,
  • Foreign Minister Mihai Popov,
  • Finance Minister Valeriu Chițan,
  • Minister for Privatization and State Property Management Ceslav Ciobanu,
  • Industry Minister Grigore Triboi,
  • Minister of Agriculture and Food Gorincioi,
  • Communications and Information Minister Casian,

  • Minister of Culture Mihail Cibotaru,
  • Health Minister Timofei Moșneaga,
  • Minister for Welfare, Social Security and Families Nidelcu,

  • Minister for Relations with Parliament Victor Puşcaş,
  • Defense Minister General Creangă,
  • Interior Minister General Antoci,
  • Justice Minister Vasile Sturza as well
  • Minister for National Security General Calmoi.

The office of Minister for Relations with Parliament was dissolved on February 24, 1995, after the previous incumbent Puşcaş became President of the Supreme Court.

During his second term in office, the situation resulting from the Transnistrian conflict calmed down somewhat in 1994 when the Moldovan central government proposed an autonomous status within the Republic of Moldova to the two breakaway regions. Gagauzia accepted the proposal, but Transnistria did not. Since then, the latter has formed an internationally unrecognized state, which includes the Moldovan areas east of the Dnestr and in which Russian army units are stationed. In the constitution, which came into force on August 27, 1994, the Moldovan language (Limba moldovenească) , which is de facto the same as Romanian , was declared the official state language. In 1996 President Snegur's motion to rename the Moldovan language to Romanian was rejected due to the current constitution.

Furthermore, he continued diplomatic relations with other states of the former COMECON such as Bulgaria and Russia . On the other hand, he also sought to intensify relations with the USA and the member states of the European Union . As a result, on May 19, 1995, a loan agreement was signed in London with the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Jacques de Larosière to finance thermal power stations. On April 5, 1996, there was another conflict with President Snegur when he called for Defense Minister Creanga to be dismissed on charges of corruption in the ministry. However, this demand failed both because of resistance from Sangheli and from officer circles, who only accepted Snegur's demands in the form of orders in his function as commander in chief of the armed forces.

In the presidential election of November 17, 1996, Sangheli ran as a candidate for the Agricultural Party (PDAM). However, after he was defeated by the independent candidate Petru Lucinschi , supported by the left-wing parties , incumbent Snegur and Vladimir Voronin and only received 9.5 percent of the vote in fourth place in the first ballot, he resigned as Prime Minister and was replaced by Ion Ciubuc on January 24, 1997 replaced. In the elections held separately on December 22, 1996 in the Dnestr region , however, he came in first with 37.5 percent, ahead of Voronin and Snegur.

In 1998 he was re-elected as a candidate for the PDAM in parliament, to which he belonged until 2001.

Since leaving politics, Sangheli has been General Director of Limagrain Moldova.
