The OSCE monitors at the Armenian presidential election claim that
the election has failed to prove fully competitive, according to the
AFP news agency.
But the monitors of the International Expert Centre for Electoral
Systems, ICES, have acknowledged that the election proved
legitimate and in line with democratic standards despite a number
of irregularities.
The incumbent Serge Sargsian was re-elected Armenian President
on Monday.
He polled more than 58% of the votes. Almost 7,000 observers from
national and international organizations monitored the election.
Sargsyan winning presidential election in Armenia
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has been reelected.
This was announced today by the Central Election Commission of the
country, after completing the processing of all ballots.
Sargsyan was supported by more than 58 percent of voters.
His closest rival Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian received over
36 percent.
The other five candidates received less than 3 percent of the vote
each.
Presidential elections were held in Armenia on Monday and slightly
more than 60 percent of voters took part.
