Local elections: RPA wins in most communities of Armenia - preliminary data

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. The representatives of the Republican Party of Armenia won in the local self-government elections in 161 communities on September 18, Chairman of RPA Organizing Committee Ruben Tadevosyan told “Armenpress”.

He said the Party actively participated in the elections held in 237 communities in Armenia.

“Of course, we have nominated candidates not in all communities, but we have nominated and supported also the candidacy of non-party people. More than 20 of them won in the elections”, he said.

The RPA candidates were unable to win in nearly 20 communities. Tadevosyan considered it a normal phenomenon since it occurred under fair competition conditions.

He reacted to the news which says the RPA lost in the local elections. He said it doesn’t correspond to reality. He said the reality will become clear for everyone if they compare the representation and results of other parties.

Armenian Revolutionary Federation, “Prosperous Armenia” party, “Civil Contract” party and the Armenian Renaissance have also won the elections in some local communities.
