The secret ballot for the election of a new member of the Board of the Central Bank of Armenia concluded Friday in the National Assembly (NA).

The ruling majority "Civil Contract" Faction of the NA had nominated economist Levon Sahakyan for that position.

But out of 107 MPs, only 70 voted; 69 of them approved Sahakyan's candidacy, whereas only 1 lawmaker voted against it.

As a result, Levon Sahakyan has become a member of the Board of the Central Bank of Armenia.
