Sputnik. The Civil Contract Party has been involved as a third party in the case of contesting the election results.
Constitutional Court judges, former Minister of Justice and member of the "Republic" party Artak Zeynalyan and recently former MP from the "Civil Contract" party Vladimir Vardanyan will not participate in the examination of the case contesting the election results in the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court has granted the petitioners' request, confirming that these members of the Constitutional Court may have a biased attitude towards the party acting as a party, its representative, and other participants in the proceedings:
It should be noted that the "Alliance for the Defense of Democracy of the Republic" party has filed a complaint against Artak Zeynalyan, while the "Wings of Unity" party has filed against Vladimir Vardanyan.
According to another decision of the Constitutional Court, the "Civil Contract" party has also been involved as a third party in the contestation of the election results.
We previously reported that the Constitutional Court will examine the applications submitted by political forces regarding the election results within the same session. This will take place on June 26, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Judge Edgar Shatiryans has been appointed as the rapporteur for the case.
The trial of the united case will be conducted in an oral procedure:
Let us remind you that parliamentary elections were held in Armenia on June 7, with the participation of 16 parties and 2 alliances.
According to the first preliminary results, the Prosperous Armenia Party received 4% of the votes and could enter the parliament. Later, the Central Electoral Commission invalidated the results of voting at 3 polling stations: No. 10/51, 35/65, and 12/13, as a result of which the "Prosperous Armenia" party lost 213 votes, effectively failing to overcome the necessary 4% threshold for parliament. On June 14, the Central Electoral Commission published the final results of the elections, according to which the Prosperous Armenia Party did not enter the parliament (58,287 votes or 3.9893%).
According to the final results of the Central Electoral Commission, the Civil Contract Party will have 64 mandates in the parliament, "Strong Armenia" will have 29, and the "Armenia" alliance will have 12 mandates:
On June 19, 7 political forces ("Strong Armenia", "Prosperous Armenia", "Wings of Unity", "Democracy, Law, Discipline", "Alliance for the Defense of Democracy of the Republic", "New Forces" parties, "Armenia" party alliance) appealed to the Constitutional Court demanding the annulment of the election results.
The "Strong Armenia" alliance demands that the election results be declared invalid, and as an alternative demand, to schedule a second round of elections.
The "Armenia" alliance has one demand: to declare the election results invalid. The Prosperous Armenia Party, which was deprived of its mandate due to the invalidation of the voting results at 3 polling stations, is also contesting the overall election results.
The results of the parliamentary elections are also being contested by the "Wings of Unity" party, the "New Forces" party, the "Democracy, Law, Discipline" (DLD) party, and the "Alliance for the Defense of Democracy of the Republic".
