Yesterday, the presidential candidate, the president of the "Heritage"
party Raffi Hovhannisyan filed a lawsuit to the RA Administrative Court
against the Central Election Commission, challenging the latter's
inaction. The case was signed by the Judge of Administrative Court
Judge Karen Avetisyan.
Raffi Hovannisyan requests that CEC be obliged to "include the price
of the 1.600 election headquarters of the presidential candidate Serzh
Sargsyan and the price of the posters spotted on them in the campaign
cost" and announce the registration of the candidate invalid upon
the No. 60-A decision of CEC. Raffi Hovannisyan applied to CEC with
this claim, asking CEC to apply to court for the revocation of Serzh
Sargsyan candidacy. Based on the decision of February 25, CEC rejected
Raffi Hovhannisyan's application. The CEC noted that those cases of
the Electoral Code when the election committee applies to the court
without warning the candidate about that, concern exclusively those
cases that can have a significant impact on the election results. CEC
also said that the person who presented the application did not present
the legal justification or reasons to substantiate the impact of the
presented facts on the election outcome.
