The preliminary election campaign in Gyumri is over. The primaries reached the finish line and the results of the three-day election were summarized on December 10.
How?is knownOn December 8, 9 and 10, primary elections were held in Gyumri, in which 7 candidates were self-nominated and competed: MPs of the "Civil Contract" faction of the National Assembly Davit Arushanyan, Karen Sarukhanyan, Director of the Gyumri Regional Center of the Ministry of Education and Culture Sarik Minasyan, former Gyumri Deputy Mayor Vahagn Mkrtchyan, member of the Gyumri Council of Elders Shavarsh Aramyan, 33-year-old Levon Ananyan, Emma Barseghyan, a senior specialist of the development and implementation department of the Shirak governor's office. 1050 citizens participated in the voting. 34 ballots were declared invalid.
The number of inaccuracies is 11. With the 253 votes received as a result of the counting of ballots, Sarik Minasyan, currently a non-party director, became the interim mayor of Gyumri.
As a result of the primaries held in Gyumri, the votes received by the candidates were distributed as follows:
Levon Ananyan - 91 votes
Davit Arushanyan - 220 votes
Shavarsh Aramyan - 88 votes
Emma Barseghyan - 113 votes
Sarik Minasyan - 253 votes
Vahagn Mkrtchyan - 138 votes
Karen Sarukhanyan - 143 votes
Within the framework of the process, the city was divided into 5 parts, 5 groups were formed, which went around the streets and districts of Gyumri with a ballot box, randomly offering the citizens to participate in the election.
Voting was done on the principle of one vote per house. Earlier, in a conversation with "Haykakan Zhamanak", Sarik Minasyan said that his work experience, management knowledge and human qualities will help him become the mayor of the hearts of all Gyumri people. And how was he non-partisan? Minasyan became the acting candidate of the mayor of Gyumri approved by the "Civil Agreement" party, he answered the question.
"Basically, I submitted my motivation letter, it was not possible to have a development plan in 1-2 days. If the Government has adopted rule of law, zero tolerance for corruption, justice, I share all these ideologies, I agree, God will show the rest."
Minasyan also did not deny the rumors that Arman Sahakyan, a former deputy of the National Assembly, president of the "Shirak" football club, is very interested in his nomination.
He mentioned that anyone who knows him is interested.
Let's remind, when on October 28, the members of "Balasanyan Alliance" put down their mandates without explanation, presented protocols to the 31st CEC and disappeared, the city was left in a state of gravity, found itself in a management and economic crisis, and was left without a mayor.
