ArmInfo.Despite there is two months term before the elections start, the political filed of Armenia has no clear determination regarding proportional lists of political powers to participate in the elections and the appropriate pre-electoral blocks and alliances.
The most intensive struggle takes place in respect to the proportional list of Armenian Republican party, because there is no doubt RPA will be the leader of this elections, especially between female candidates - up to nervous breakdowns and sedatives. According to ArmInfo, this time in the first three positions of RPA list will be not the Vice Speaker Hermine Naghdalyan, like it was at previous elections, but the Justice Minister Arpine Haroutyunyan, and this issue is under the personal control Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan. This means in the case RPA wins the elections, Arpine Hovhannisyan will become the Vice Speaker.
To be impartial, it is necessary to mention that this intensive struggle takes place exactly in respect to the proportional list of RPA.. What is to the rating lists, candidates for lawmaker's mandate do not want to spend assets and time for the rating-based struggle and try to get their places in the proportional list. For instance, the Tavush district governor rejected to hold struggle within the rating system.
The nervous environment is observed also in the Prosperous Armenia Party, expecting Gagik Tsaroukyan to return to big politics. The plans of Armenian National Congress are still unclear as well. What is to the pre-electoral block of Yelk, comprising parties of Prosperous Armenia, Bright Armenia and Republic, here everything is almost decided and the proportional list will be submitted on January 21.
The pre electoral plans of Seyran Ohanyan, the Ex Minister of Defense, are not fully realized. According to ArmInfo sources, he could not reach any large consolidation of electorate, which has been planned initially. It is clear by now that the Third Republic and Vardan Oskanyan's Solidarity. The party of Legacy looks to fail participating to elections as an independent power, and it's members are expected to be included in the electoral lists of different blocks. Yesterday an application was submitted by Anahit Bakhshyan to leave the party, expressing the intention to join Free Democrates block and the Liberty Party of Hrant Bagratyan.
