Central Electoral Commission informed ‘Pasinfo’ agency that one of three candidates nominated for additional majoritarian parliamentary elections in electoral district no. 35 of Shirak region self-nominated non-partisan Arman Khachatryan has withdrawn his candidacy.

As a result only two candidates remained in electoral district no. 35: ‘Sovrano’ LLC Director Arman Sahakyan nominated by the Republican Party and self-nominated member of Armenian National Movement Murad Grigoryan.

Four candidates have registered for the majoritarian parliamentary election in electoral district no. 1 in Yerevan: Secretary of ‘Heritage’ Party, former MP Styopa Safaryan, Deputy Head of Yerevan Department of the State Committee of Real Estate Cadastre Robert Sargsyan, nominated by the Republican Party, President of Greens of Armenia (Socio-Ecological) Party Armenak Dovlatyan and member of Armenian People’s Party self-nominated Edward Petrosyan.

According to schedule of preparation and conduct of election events campaign period for candidates will begin on November 4 and will last until November 30, 00:00.

Candidates will have the right to withdraw their candidacy until November 22, 18:00.

Let us recall that additional elections in electoral districts no.1 and no. 35 were appointed according to premature termination of deputy powers of the Republican Party member Ruben Hayrapetyan and ‘Prosperous Armenia’ Party member Samvel Balasanyan. Ruben Hayrapetyan submitted his resignation request after the death of military doctor Vahe Avetyan in ‘Harsnaqar’ restaurant that belongs to Hayrapetyan’s family. S. Balasanyan’s parliamentary powers were suspended after the Mayor elections in Gyumri on September 9 where the latter won in the elections.
