Incumbent Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has won this year's
presidential election to secure a second five-year term, according to
the provisional tally released by Armenian Central Electoral Commission
(CEC) on Tuesday.
CEC's latest available tally showed that Sargsyan, leader of the
ruling Republican Party of Armenia, had got 58.64 percent of the
total valid votes cast on Monday.
It also showed that 1,518,407 of the 2,528,463 registered voters cast
their votes on Monday, with a turnout rate of 60.05 percent.
The second place of this year's presidential race was occupied by
Armenian former Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian, who leads the
opposition Heritage Party, with a total of 36.75 percent of the
cast vote.
The CEC has finalized counting votes from all the 1,988 ballot stations
across the country in the small hours of Tuesday.
Though a few local television channels and media houses have quoted
the CEC's provisional tally, the commission did not pronounce its
results. It has originally scheduled to announce the official results
of the presidential election on Feb. 25.
