YEREVAN. - The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) doesn’t rule out the possibility of making new amendments to the country’s Electoral Code.

RPA spokesperson Eduard Sharmazanov told the aforementioned to journalists after the RPA Executive Body meeting on Wednesday.

According to him, the meeting addressed the upcoming local self-governance elections and the situation related to the Electoral Code. “As a result of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) session, the changes which we had accepted thanks to the consensus are no longer effective. But this doesn’t mean that new amendments are not possible. I officially announce that the RPA will do its best to introduce confidence mechanisms so that the public confidence towards the electoral process and its results can grow.  We don’t rule out the introduction of additional mechanisms. I don’t exclude the publication of post-election voter lists and making the punishments against election fraud more stringent,” he said.

Sharmazanov assured that they have a political will and will thus do everything possible for the mechanisms to be in place, this practically ruling out any election fraud. “If amendments are needed to be made to the Electoral Code, we will do that.”

Responding to the question on the chances of RPA during the municipal elections, the spokesperson said that “unlike certain opposition forces, we don’t speak of chances”.

In Sharmazanov’ s words, if everything is clear in the power field, there are many old and new parties in the opposition camp, who want to win votes.
