The Armenia alliance, led by former President Robert Kocharyan, which garnered 9.9% in the parliamentary elections, announced on Tuesday that it will challenge the results in the Constitutional Court.
A representative of the bloc, MP Ishkhan Saghatelyan, told reporters that they are now preparing a package of facts to submit to the high court.
Despite international observers stating that the vote proceeded in a calm and fair environment, Saghatelyan alleged that they have “numerous facts” indicating pressure and unfair conditions.
He said the bloc will dispute the results as soon as the Central Electoral Commission publishes the final results.
Saghatelyan also said that they have requested a recount in several polling stations.
The Civil Contract party secured 727,827 votes, or 49.825%, securing a majority in the next parliament, according to preliminary results.
The Strong Armenia alliance received 340,088 votes, or 23.281%, while the Armenia alliance gained 145,113 votes, or 9.934%.
Preliminary figures also show that the Prosperous Armenia party is just below the 4% threshold, with 3.996%. Prosperous Armenia has also said it will dispute the results.
