    ARMENIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION NOT FULLY COMPETITIVE - OSCE MONITORS

    Feb 19 2013

    The OSCE monitors at the Armenian presidential election claim that
    the election has failed to prove fully competitive, according to the
    AFP news agency.

    But the monitors of the International Expert Centre for Electoral
    Systems, ICES, have acknowledged that the election proved
    legitimate and in line with democratic standards despite a number
    of irregularities.

    The incumbent Serge Sargsian was re-elected Armenian President
    on Monday.

    He polled more than 58% of the votes. Almost 7,000 observers from
    national and international organizations monitored the election.

    This was announced today by the Central Election Commission of the

    Sargsyan was supported by more than 58 percent of voters.

    His closest rival Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian received over
    36 percent.

    The other five candidates received less than 3 percent of the vote
    each.

    Presidential elections were held in Armenia on Monday and slightly
    more than 60 percent of voters took part.
