The Feb 18 2013 presidential election has once again demonstrated
that the country's authorities are unable to hold honest and
transparent elections and it has become clear that the Republican
Party of Armenia (RPA) is at the end of its own resources to rule
the country legitimately, presidential candidate Andreas Ghukasyan
says in his statement.
"During the voting half a million of voters turned against the ruling
regime. It's time for the people to decide the political future of the
country themselves. The country's citizens and the political forces
may set up a national Council that will assume the responsibility to
hold the second round of honest and transparent elections. For the
welfare of our motherland, I call on the citizens to join efforts and
not to allow anybody to break the people's striving for democratic
and lawful Armenia", Ghukasyan says in his statement.
To note, according to the preliminary results of the Feb 18 election,
the incumbent President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan obtained 58.64%
(861,160 votes), the leader of Heritage Party Raffi Hovannisian -
36.75% (539,672), Hrant Bagratyan - 2.15%, Paruyr Hayrikyan - 1.23%,
Andreas Ghukasyan - 0.57%, Vardan Sedrakyan - 0.42%, Arman Melikyan -
0.24%. The voter turnout was 1,518,407 or 60.05% of the total number
of voters of the republic.
