Local election’s official results express people’s choice – says Pashinyan
The October 21 local-self governing body elections showed that the revolution’s victory is obvious, acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told reporters during the Eurasian Week International Forum in Yerevan.
“I would like to congratulate on holding the [local self-governing body] elections. I regret that some of our candidates didn’t win in the elections, however I am happy that we made another step in reiterating our commitment to the values of the velvet revolution,” he said.
“What matters is that we fulfilled our obligation. I’ve said this before and I am repeating – elections will never be rigged anymore,” Pashinyan said.
He said that the approval ratings of their candidates were increasing until election day, but in certain places they didn’t manage to finish the work.
“Undoubtedly, the official results of the elections in all locations expresses the people’s choice,” he said, adding that “the revolution’s victory is obvious”.
