BY-ELECTION WILL BE HELD
Support A1+!Today the Central Electoral Commission convened a plenary session. Under a CEC decision by-election will be held at Precinct 15 on August 26.
To remind, Republican Khachik Manukyan was nominated at the above-mentioned precinct on the majoritarian ticket. He resigned from the mandate and explained his withdrawal by “election frauds and public mistrust.”
Khachik Manukyan will be nominated again.
Feliks Khachatryan, the representative of the Justice Bloc to the CEC, reminded that the 26 candidates running on the majoritarian ticket of the Republican Party, had already submitted applications and resigned from their mandates.
According to Manukyan, the applications had no date. This is a mere breach of the Electoral Code. Under Article 111 a deputy can resign from the mandate ten days before the elections. Party-lists cannot be subjected to changes after the voting, Manukyan said.
