The officials of the Balasanyan bloc of the Gyumri municipality are resigning today, as are the 14 members of the faction. This was noted by Levon Barseghyan, the chairman of the board of the "Asparez" club of Gyumri journalists, adding that the council of elders is left with 33 mandates, 14 of which will remain vacant, because 5 out of 6 people on the candidate list of the faction have already given up their candidate status, and one is abroad. is
"The question is, will the councilors of the "Zartonk" (3 people), "Aprelu Yerkir" (2 people), RPA (2 people) factions and 1 independent member of the council of elders participate in the meeting of the council of elders to be convened for the election of the new mayor and will they provide a quorum? to elect a new community mayor, or will they not participate?
CP has 11 out of 33 seats in the Council of Elders, it can independently call a meeting of the Council of Elders, but it will not be able to convene, if at least 17 members of the Council of Elders do not participate in the session.a. If the Gyumri Council of Elders does not hold a meeting in October-November-December, the Council of Elders will be dissolved and extraordinary elections of the Council of Elders will be held," he said on Facebook.
According to him, other possible scenarios are: "b. If a meeting is convened to elect a community leader and a community leader is not elected, the council of elders will be dissolved in this case as well. c. If a session is convened, that is, at least 17 people participate in the session, the head of the community can be elected in the second round.
This scenario is possible if the factions with a small number of members unite with the CP for party positions or for an undisclosed reason (receive deputies or other positions, etc.).c1. It is unlikely, but it is possible that some members of the factions with a small number of members leave the factions, become independent members, then start cooperating with the CP and help convening the session and get a position or not. An example is the history of electing the mayor of Yerevan last year. There are other minor scenarios."
