YEREVAN. – Earlier, Zhoghovurd daily had informed that ruing Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) candidate, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan was defeated—during the recent presidential election—in the districts of the representatives of his closest circles. There is no RPA vice-chairman in whose district Sargsyan won, the daily reports.     

“So, it turns out that former Armenian presidential contender [opposition Heritage Party Chairman, former FM] Raffi Hovannisian [who is declared runner-up to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential election that was conducted on February 18, but who claims to be the real winner in the vote] likewise was defeated in the constituency where he cast his ballot.

This refers to Precinct No.10/06 of [capital city] Yerevan’s Nork-Marash Administrative Region. Here, the opposition candidate received 410 votes, whereas Sargsyan, 687,” Zhoghovurd writes.
