`The meetings of the district electoral commissions (DEC), at which
electoral documents must be signed on the threshold of tomorrow's
voting, will mainly be held on Saturday after 6:00 pm. We estimate this
negatively', Stepan Safaryan, the secretary of Heritage Party's
Parliamentary group told ArmInfo correspondent.
For his part, Hovhannes Asatryan, the chairman of the 15th DEC, told
ArmInfo correspondent that DECs put off the meetings till evening, as
not all of them received the necessary documents. According to
legislation, the bulletins are to be signed before midnight, H.Asatryan
noted.
To recall, there are 6 contenders for the vacancy in parliament:
Khachik Manukyan, a candidate from the ruling Republican Party of
Armenia (RPA), Mnatsakan Mnatsakanyan, the mayor of Talin, a
non-partisan supported by the Prosperous Armenia party, which is in the
ruling coalition, Raffi Hovannisian, the leader of the opposition
Heritage party, Gourgen Shahinyan, a representative of the ARF
Dashnaksutyun Party, as well as self-nominated Emin Karapetyan and
Vahagn Petrosyan. The by-election at the 15-th constituency was set
after Khachik Manukyan, a candidate from RPA who won during the May 12
election, withdrew from the deputy mandate and expressed a desire to
contend for it again. The by-election will be held on coming Sunday.
