Armenia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) has officially declared Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s party the winner of the June 7th parliamentary elections. The ruling party will hold 64 seats in the 105-member parliament, securing a majority. The announcement follows a complete vote count and comes a week after the elections were held. Pashinyan’s “Civil Contract” party campaigned on a pro-European platform. The results confirm Pashinyan’s continued hold on power despite significant political challenges and calls for his resignation following a 2020 war with Azerbaijan. The outcome is expected to provide stability as Armenia navigates ongoing geopolitical tensions and seeks to strengthen ties with the West.
