Exit Poll: Armenia's Ruling Party Won Election
Posted Sunday, May 6th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
An exit poll shows that Armenia's ruling Republican Party won
parliamentary elections held on Sunday.
The survey by Gallup International Association shows President Serzh
Sarkisian's party with roughly 44 percent of the vote.
The exit poll shows the Prosperous Armenia Party in second place with
nearly 29 percent of the vote.
The two parties were partners in Armenia's previous coalition government.
President Sarkisian's ruling party was hoping to win more than half of
the 131 seat in the national assembly and avoid having to enter
another power-sharing deal.
Armenians voted Sunday in the country's first elections since 2008,
when a presidential poll sparked deadly clashes between police and
protesters.
The parliamentary campaigns centered on unemployment, poverty and
Armenia's long-running disputes with neighbors Turkey and Azerbaijan.
