The analytical group Electoral Systems dwelled on the situation
connected with the election of the head of the community of Ajapniak,
Yerevan in October and presented its forecast.
"Exclusive.am": Arman Sahakyan is again nominated head of the community
of Ajapniak. The local elections, which seem to be quite ordinary at
first sight, are a serious trial for the Republican Party and Serge
Sargsyan. First Arman Sahakyan's victory would strengthen Andranik
Margaryan's team in the Republican Party. We have already mentioned
that dual power has occurred in the Republican Party. Besides, after
the previous election of the head of the community of Ajapniak Serge
Sargsyan, who supported the incumbent candidate Artsrun Khachatryan
in the previous election, will face a dilemma. By winning the
election in Ajapniak without Serge Sargsyan's support the "old"
wing of the Republican Party would display that the Republican
Party makes decisions without Serge Sargsyan. At the same time,
the "old" Republicans must keep the actions of Serge Sargsyan under
"surveillance" (as formerly pro-Artsrun Khachatryan). Most probably,
Serge Sargsyan will informally become the head of the electoral
headquarters of Arman Sahakyan. Thereby he will reinforce the basis
of his leadership in the Republican Party. At the same time, this
means that for the sake of his problems inside the political party
he will sacrifice the position of his non-partisan supporters, namely
Artsrun Khachatryan.
