Feb 19 2013
Armenia's central election commission has announced President Serzh
Sarksyan has won a second five-year term.
Exit polls when voting ended yesterday gave the incumbent 58% percent
of the vote which the commission said was confirmed in preliminary
results.
"This election proved once again that our people are capable of
uniting at the decisive moment, and making the right decision,"
claimed the victor.
International electoral observers gave the election a clean bill
of health, noting it was an improvement on 2008, but criticised the
"lack of competition" and the failure of politicians to "engage the
public's interest".
Police say there have been reports of 70 voting violations including
bribery, and that two criminal investigations have been launched.
