May 08, 2013 | 17:30
YEREVAN. - The opposition Armenian National Congress will appeal
election results, head of parliamentary group Levon Zurabyan told
reporters on Wednesday.
Zurabyan said they would demand recounting of votes at 27 precincts and
recognizing invalid election results at 7 precincts. He is confident
that recounting will reveal numerous irregularities.
"Recounting is the only method to disclose election fraud. We must
collect the evidence in order to file a lawsuit to the Administrative
Court to recognize election results invalid," he said, adding that
the lawsuit is being prepared.
The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) on Monday issued the preliminary
results of Sunday's voting. In line with this outcome, the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia, the non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia
Party, and the opposition Heritage Party-led "Barev, [Hello] Yerevan"
bloc will comprise the new Council of Elders of Yerevan.
Opposition Armenian National Congress Party, opposition ARF
Dashnaktsutyun Party, coalition government's Orinats Yerkir (Rule of
Law) Party, and Arakelutyun (Mission) Party, on the other hand, did
not pass the 6-percent threshold for the parties to become members
in the Yerevan Council of Elders.
