The Gyumri city government elections to be held on March 30 will be hot, a rich palette of competitors is being formed from all forces. All political forces will compete here, and the government is represented by two people, and the opposition force has adopted the same strategy.
In the second largest city of Armenia, CP will run for the elections in the face of the current mayor, Mr. Sarik Minasyan, and another person, candidates from the DOK party, Aram Zaven Sargsyan's team will be nominated. The name of the candidate of the "Aprelu Yerkir" party, Karen Malkhasyan, is circulating in the press. Vardan Ghukasyan, the founding head of the DOK, also spoke about the nomination of his team, through a telephonic speech in Gyumri inviting the people of Gyumri to a meeting a month ago. The approach of the two main factions of the opposition is very remarkable.
Vardan Ghukasyan, the mayor of Gyumri for 13 years, will run on behalf of the Communist Party of Armenia, because the law requires a party base for the nomination, but in fact, there is an opinion that he will fully enjoy the support of Robert Kocharyan's team.
They say that Serzh Sargsyan will have his favorite candidate. Today, the press wrote the name of the second opposition candidate in the political arena of Gyumri, NA deputy Martun Grigoryan. Today, Martun Grigoryan represents the RPA wing in the parliament, and years ago he became a deputy from the PAP led by Tsarukyan, which means that he will at least get Serzh Sargsyan and The support of the RPA will share the votes of the opposition electorate with former mayor Vardan Ghuksyan in the election campaign.
Taking into account the motley palette and the number of candidates, it can be assumed that no force of 50+ can gather in Gyumri, the maximum plan can be the possibility of taking power in Gyumri with coalition associations, and time will tell who will get the greatest trust of the electorate.
