and radio operator, that the presidential election was manipulated.
Hovannisian and Ghukasyan had applied to the Court, requesting that
the Court reject the election results. The Court however denied the
claim, upholding the Central Election Commission's (CEC) assessment
that there had not been any violations.
Incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan triumphed the Armenian presidential
election with 58.64 percent of the votes, while his closest rival,
Raffi Hovannisian, received 36.75 percent of the votes and Andreas
Ghukasyan won less than 1 percent of the votes in Armenian presidential
