Many of us have wondered how CP could get such a large number of votes, why did people vote for this political force?

I will present four factors of fundamental importance and great influence.

ADMINISTRATIVE RESOURCE

In these elections, under the threat of dismissal of employees of RA state and local government bodies, an unprecedented scale of interference in the electoral processes. With this mechanism, the ruling CP party used the RA Armed Forces, the entire law enforcement system, the republican executive bodies and the educational and health institutions operating under the jurisdiction of the local government for its political interests.
There are many publications about them in the press.

This mechanism gave the ruling CP at least 100,000 additional votes.

SELECTION

The government distributed large-scale election bribes at the expense of the RA state budget. 10,000 drams increase in pensions, hundreds of millions of bonuses and other monetary incentives. The RA Government’s decision to increase pensions ahead of the elections deserves special attention. This is especially important in the sense that in 2026 The RA law on the state budget did not provide for such an increase, which means that the RA Government’s decision to increase pensions had an exclusively pre-election political significance. This increase in pensions was repeatedly exploited by the ruling Communist Party during the pre-election campaign, presented as a manifestation of their goodwill and care for pensioners.

Considering the fact that pensioners are a socially vulnerable class, the decision of the CP to “buy” their votes before the elections has serious problems with morality.

With this mechanism, the ruling CP party secured at least 200,000 additional votes from the total number of 600,000 pensioners.

HEALTH INSURANCE

The implementation of the RA Law on Universal Health Insurance, which came into effect on January 1, actually brought big pre-election dividends to the ruling political force, and the fact that it was done a few months before the elections, without long-term financial and institutional strengthening of the system’s implementation, proves that it had a literally political purpose to “buy” additional votes at the expense of the RA state budget before the elections. This health insurance mechanism was widely used by the ruling political force during the pre-election campaign, and a large number of RA citizens publicly expressed their thanks. Nikol Pashinyan to solve their health problems for free.

1.7 million RA citizens have benefited from this system, and how many RA citizens have actually used this system is not known yet. However, it is clear that their number reaches hundreds of thousands.

EUROPEAN FUTURE

During the last months, the ruling Communist Party generated widespread anti-Russian sentiments among the public and presented itself to the public as a political force leading Armenia to Europe. In Russia, this policy was adopted very “severely” and large-scale trade restrictions were applied to Armenian businessmen, as a result of which hundreds of businessmen suffered great economic and financial losses.
Wearing an anti-Russian mask, Pashinyan immediately took the helm of the ship to take Armenia to Europe, knowing very well that this ship will never reach Europe and at best will stop at one of the ports of Novorossiysk, and at worst, Istanbul.

Hundreds of thousands of our citizens, who dream of seeing Armenia in the European family, saw in the person of Nikol Pashinyan the agent of their dream, believed in his anti-Russian and pro-European character and gave him their votes.

On the night of the elections, Pashinyan dashed the hopes of Armenian “Euro-lovers” by declaring that Armenia is not ready to go to Europe. He took off his “anti-Russian” mask and will soon put on the mask of “racial slave” and go to Moscow to show his eternal loyalty and devotion. (CIS observers already recognized the elections).

And Moscow got the prime minister of its “heart”. . .

“Euro-lovers” are no longer important, their votes have already been stolen and they can be simply forgotten until the next elections.

Then he will cheat again and so on. . .

P.S. The impact of election violations, arrests that paralyze the activities of the opposition forces, detaining the main leader of the opposition, prolonging and delaying the counting of ballots in a very strange way, declaring himself the winner by the KP based on the counting of 10% of the ballots, accumulation of soldiers in the precincts, changing the RA Electoral Code 2 months before the elections and other falsifications, violations and illegalities on the election results are subject to a separate, very deep and complex study”.
