Armenia’s ruling Civil Contract Party is expected to hold an extraordinary congress on Saturday.

Prime Minister and Civil Contract Chairman of the Board Nikol Pashinyan said on social media that the congress will vote on the party’s candidate list and pre-election program for the June 2026 parliamentary elections, as well as formally confirm him as the party’s nominee for prime minister.

Civil Contract Party members last week selected Pashinyan as the party’s candidate for prime minister in the upcoming election.

The extraordinary congress is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time at the Yerevan Sports and Concert Complex.

The Civil Contract list of candidates for parliament in the June 7 elections was determined through a closed vote and published online.

The party also released its election campaign program earlier on Friday.
