Five political parties and an opposition bloc have passed the
election threshold to make in into Armenia's parliament, according to
preliminary vote results published by the Central Election Commission
on Monday, RIA Novosti reports.
With more than 90 percent of the ballots counted, President Serzh
Sargsyan's Republican Party gained 44.23 percent of the vote in
Sunday's elections, followed by the Prosperous Armenia party, its
partner in the governing coalition, with 30.31 percent.
The three parties that managed to pass the 5-percent threshold to
qualify for seats in the 131-strong parliament are the Heritage party,
the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, and the centrist Orinats Erkir
(Rule of Law) party, which gained 5.73 percent, 5.66 percent, and
5.43 percent, respectively.
The main opposition force, the Armenian National Congress led by
ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, narrowly passed the 7-percent
threshold set for political blocs with 7.01 percent of the vote.
The other three parties participating in the elections - the
Communists, the Democrats and the United Armenians party, gained less
than 1 percent of the vote each.
