Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) like the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) is currently engaged in 'inventory' of its electoral resources
on the threshold of the elections to the Elders' Council of Yerevan. A
local Hraparak newspaper writes that PAP has decided not tot yield
"a single inch of land" to the ruling party.
For this purpose, PAP representatives are expected to set up a 'rapid
response group' to establish full control over the voting process. PAP
will register every voter entering a polling station, take video record
of the voting process to rule out election rigging. A source in the PAP
told Hraparak newspaper that the party will exert genuine efforts to
'take' Yerevan on the example of Gyumri, where in September 2012 PAP
member Samvel Balasanyan was elected as the mayor.
To recall, six parties and a union have submitted their party
lists to run to the Elders' Council of Yerevan: Republican Party
of Armenia, Prosperous Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir, Armenian
National Congress, Mission, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, and "Barev Yerevan"
Union. The elections will be held on May 5. Political parties will
fight for 65 seats at the Elders' Council.
