YEREVAN. – The representatives of Armenia’s opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party are not yet commenting on the results of Sunday’s capital city Yerevan Council of Elders election.  

ARF National Assembly Faction Secretary, ARF Supreme Body Deputy Representative Aghvan Vardanyan, who was second in the party list for the election, told Armenian News-NEWS.am that ARF will issue a statement on Monday.

To note, the Central Electoral Commission on Monday issued the preliminary results of Sunday’s voting. In line with these results, the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, the non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia Party, and the opposition “Barev, Yerevan” bloc will comprise the new Council of Elders of Yerevan.

Opposition Armenian National Congress Party, ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party, coalition government’s Orinats Yerkir (Rule of Law) Party, and Arakelutyun Party, on the other hand, did not pass the 6-percent threshold to become a member in the Yerevan Council of Elders.
