Yesterday's round of local elections brought some unexpected changes
to communities in Armenia's northern Lori Marz.
According to what I witnessed, election bribes seemed to have little
effect on the final vote tallies and voters cast ballots based on
principle rather than making a quick profit.
Mayors in a number of communities were voted out of office. This
was the case in Shnogh, Akori, Dsegh, Teghout, Tchotchkan, Aygehat
and Arevatzak
The elections in Akori and Shnogh, in the Toumanyan district were of
particular interest to local vote watchers.
In Akori, incumbent Kamo Simonyan lost to challenger Hrahat Simonyan
by a vote of 683 to 478.
In Shnogh, Hovik Sahakyan was elected the new village mayor, trouncing
incumbent Haykaz Kochinyan 991 to 655.
