Strong Armenia bloc files petition with RA Constitutional Court to  annul results of parliamentary elections

ArmInfo.  Aram Vardevanyan, a representative of the "Strong Armenia" bloc, has filed a petition with the Constitutional Court of Armenia to annul the results of the  June 7 National Assembly elections. This was reported by Marianna  Ghahramanyan, press secretary for Samvel Karapetyan's "Strong  Armenia" bloc.

"The bloc, based on widespread and organized violations of the  electoral process orchestrated by the authorities, demands that the  decision of the Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of  Armenia dated June 14, 2026, 'On the Results of the National Assembly  Elections of June 7, 2026,' be annulled and that the election results  be declared invalid or a second round of elections be called," the  bloc's representative stated.

As a reminder, regular parliamentary elections were held in Armenia  on June 7, 2026. On June 14, Central Election Commission Chairman  Vahagn Hovakimyan presented the final results of the parliamentary  elections. According to him, the Civil Contract Party won seats in  the Armenian parliament with 49.7456% of the vote, Samvel  Karapetyan's Strong Armenia bloc won 23.2710%, and second president  Robert Kocharyan's Armenia bloc won 9.9231%. Gagik Tsarukyan's  Prosperous Armenia Party failed to pass the 4% parliamentary  threshold following a recount, receiving only 3.9893%.

Tsarukyan's party failed to pass the threshold after the Central  Election Commission annulled the results of three polling stations  where Tsarukyan's party received more than 200 votes. Thus, according  to Hovakimyan, the mandates were distributed as follows: Pashinyan's  party received 64 mandates, achieving a constitutional majority of  3/5 in parliament. Karpetyan's bloc received 29 mandates, and  Kocharyan's bloc received 12 mandates. Thus, the Civil Contract party  has a 3/5 majority, which allows it to pass constitutional laws and  make appointments, but it lacks the 2/3 majority necessary to  directly amend the Armenian Constitution.
