As a result of the recount of votes, the “Prosperous Armenia” party overcomes the electoral threshold and will go to the next convocation of the parliament. About this 168 TVof Revue informed on the air of the program Political scientist Suren Surenyants, a candidate for the National Assembly on the electoral list of the PAPthespeaking about the results of the June 7 National Assembly election and the political situation emerging around them.

“At the dawn of June 8, the summing up of all polling stations had already taken place at our pre-election headquarters, and we knew for sure that we did not have a transience problem. Of course, my mood did not become festive because of obvious reasons, because the political situation in the country does not change, but nevertheless, it was very sad to hear that irresponsible statement from the CEC president in the morning,” said Suren Surenyants.

The political scientist is deeply convinced that the preliminary results attributed to PAP – 3.996 percent of the votes of RA citizens who participated in the NA elections, due to which the party should not have been able to overcome the electoral threshold of 4 percent – is not a mere technical inaccuracy. The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) announced that PAP lacked about 60 votes to overcome the electoral threshold. According to Suren Surenyants, who is 8th in the pre-election list of “Prosperous Armenia”, we are dealing with organized crime.

“I am deeply confident that what happened in this case is not a technical inaccuracy. Now let me explain why. The point is that if the PAP did not enter the parliament, the CP had 3/5 of the NA mandates, which allowed it to adopt constitutional laws, elect or appoint a number of high-ranking officials only with its votes. Agree, this is a very powerful argument for a manipulator like Nikol Pashinyan to perform magic and leave PAP out of the parliament. Secondly, there was a continuous process of political reprisal, and logically he would like to see at least one of the “three-headed” parties before he passes, to show how “powerful” and “invincible” he is, therefore, a number of reasons give me reason to believe that we were dealing with an organized crime, the purpose of which was to leave PAP out of parliament, simply because it was obvious from the records of all 2005 precincts in our possession that we have overcome the threshold of transience, we proved very quickly and operatively, with the example of only four polling stations, that 120 votes were pocketed from us, and we restored justice very quickly,” commented Surenyants.

Evaluating the political arrangement formed in Armenia by the preliminary results of the NA elections, the CP led by Nikol Pashinyan getting a simple majority in the parliament, not a constitutional one, and the passing of three opposition forces: “Strong Armenia” led by Samvel Karapetyan, “Armenia” bloc led by Robert Kocharyan and PAP led by Gagik Tsarukyan, Suren Surenyants outlines a remarkable perspective arising from this situation. for further developments and predicts “power change with shocks”.

According to the prediction of the political scientist, “the dough will still draw a lot of water” of this election process, because this has only deepened the crisis of the government.

«The crisis of power has only deepened. Nikol Pashinyan will come to the country as an elite prisoner. He cannot move without a large number of security forces. This is not the attitude of a victorious leader, because I say that the crisis of the government will only deepen as a result of these elections. For example, our society saw how my colleagues and I politically destroy CP members in the booths. Their moral and political bankruptcy has already been revealed. The king is naked. Nikol Pashinyan is naked, his surroundings are a collection of thieves and cowards of the Motherland. The crisis of this government will deepen, it will lead to the fact that in a year and a half or two years, a change of power will take place in Armenia. I say precisely, You will have occasion to demand an account from me later for my wordsSurenyants predicts.

Let’s remind that on June 7, the nationwide voting for the election of the National Assembly took place in Armenia. The next day, June 8, the Central Electoral Commission summed up The preliminary results of the National Assembly elections, according to which the ruling “Civil Agreement” party received 49.8 percent of the total number of votes of 1 million 477 thousand 736 voters or 727 820 votes, the “Strong Armenia” bloc – 340 088 votes or 23.281 percent of the total votes, the “Armenia” bloc – 145 113 votes or the total votes 9.934 տոկոսը։

According to the Electoral Code, these three forces overcome the established electoral threshold and pass to the parliament if they take the mandates. According to preliminary results, the PAP received 58,378 votes or 3.996 percent of the votes, not being able to overcome the 4 percent electoral threshold set for the parties, but the pre-election headquarters of the PAP announced on the same day that it will apply to the CEC with the request for a recount of the votes.

The pre-election headquarters of the PAP announced that according to their data, the CEC did not count 120 votes in favor of the PAP in only four polling stations, much more than the 60 votes required to overcome the electoral threshold of 4 percent. Yesterday, on June 9, it became known that as a result of the recount of votes in polling stations No. 27/7 and No. 27/26 at the request of “Prosperous Armenia”, 92 votes will be added in favor of the party.

According to the official data of the CEC, in 2026 The total number of voters included in the voter lists in the National Assembly elections is 2 million 503,981. Summarizing the preliminary results, CEC President Vahagn Hovakimyan added to this number the number of voters (1237) included in the additional lists of voters who were present at the polling station on the day of the election, the number of voters who voted with mobile boxes (410), and the number of voters who participated in electronic voting (537), noting that the total number of voters is 2 million 507,216.
