YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 8, NOYAN TAPAN. During the September 5 sitting, the
RA Central Electoral Commission (CEC) registered the former chief of
the RA presidential staff, member of the ruling body of the Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) Hovik Abrahamian as a deputy of the RA National
Assembly by the majoritarian electoral system. The RA CEC took as a
basis the decision of district electoral commission No 17 based on the
results of the August 24 by-election of a NA deputy by the majoritarian
electoral system in electoral district No 17 in Ararat marz.

The RA CEC also registered the chairman of Armenia's Association of
Aldermen Arayik Hovhannisian as deputy of the RA National Assembly
by the proportional electoral system from the electoral list of the
RPA. The decision was based on the NA's report on terminating the
deputy powers of Vladimir Balayan who was appointed the Armenian
ambassador to Turkmenistan.

Thus henceforth the National Assembly "RPA" faction will have 65
members.
