'Reform and Change' parliamentary bloc member Hagop Pakradonian
became the first uncontested winner in the 2009 legislative election
on Wednesday following the withdrawal of Nazrat Sabonjian.
"My victory won't affect Armenian participation in the elections in
voting in favor for Free Patriotic Movement leader General Michel
Aoun and his list," Pakradonian said.
He went on to add that Lebanese/Armenians are to also vote for Michel
Murr's person.
Murr is a former ally of Aoun but later moved away from his
political line and is running independently. Lebanese/Armenians have
traditionally voted for Murr in previous elections, but the main
Tashnag party is opting for Aoun in 2009.
