The Civil Contract Party has won Armenia’s parliamentary elections and will form the government on its own, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who also serves as chairman of the party’s board, said during a press conference.

“Regular National Assembly elections were held on June 7, 2026, and as a result of those elections, the Civil Contract Party has won. The Civil Contract Party will form the government independently,” he said.

According to Pashinyan, the party received the support of a larger number of citizens than it did in the previous parliamentary elections held in 2021.

“I would like to emphasize that, compared to 2021, the Civil Contract Party has received the votes and trust of a greater number of citizens of the Republic of Armenia. This is a responsibility,” the prime minister said.

He stressed that the election results demonstrate the choice made by citizens in favor of statehood, independence and peace.

“This means that the citizen of the Republic of Armenia has stood by the state, has stood by independence, has stood by the future, and has stood by peace.

Dear citizens of the Republic of Armenia, I love all of you, I am proud of all of you, and I bow before all of you. Glory to the martyrs, and long live the Republic of Armenia,” Pashinyan concluded.

One force will not be able to form a government. Edmon Marukyan

One force will not be able to form a government. Edmon Marukyan, the chairman of the “Bright Armenia” party and candidate for the prime minister, announced this after the vote.


According to him, his expectation is that parliamentarism will return to the National Assembly and that Armenia will return to a peaceful life free from shocks.


According to Marukyan, the participation is high, which means that the political forces managed to activate the people in the campaign and bring them to the polling station.


“The message of the people will be that one force cannot form a government, put aside your ambitions and negotiate.”


He also mentioned that there are no arrestees of their force.

Urgent clarification request. Who are those extra thousands of voters?

Urgent clarification request.

Disturbing issues and inconsistencies related to the electoral process continue to emerge.

In particular, on June 6, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that the total number of voters in the Republic of Armenia is 2 million 485 thousand 851 people, and according to the data published by the Central Election Commission, the total number of voters included in the voter register is 2 million 503 thousand 996 people. There is a difference of about 18,000 voters between these data, which cannot go unnoticed and requires a clear and exhaustive explanation.


The question arises: who are those additional thousands of voters, where did this difference come from, and what is the reason for it?
