ArmInfo. Rating candidates from the ruling "My Step" bloc also defeated their opponents from other forces by a large margin.

The largest number of votes in the rating system throughout the  country was received by the candidate from the "My step" bloc Sasun  Mikayelyan, who ran for 31739 from Kotayk region, followed by the  acting First Deputy Prime Minister Ararat Mirzoyan with 25,550 votes. 

By the way, for Mirzoyan it was especially important to get a large  number of votes, since this is what predetermines the realization of  his political ambitions, namely, Mirzoyan is aiming for the post of  president of parliament. His competitor in this regard was fellow  party member Alen Simonyan, and it was their political ambitions that  depended on the results of the rating vote.

But, judging by the results of the vote, Mirzoyan will take the chair of the speaker, since Simonyan won 21,812 votes. The third in the ranking list goes  Minister of Emergency Situations Feliks Tsolakyan, who also gained  high interest rates during his stay in the former ruling Republican  Party.  Tsolakyan scored 24172 votes. The fourth is a little-known  politician Garik Sargsyan with 22,604 votes.

It is noteworthy that the first five rating candidates from the  former ruling Republican Party are several times inferior in terms of  the votes received by candidates from the "My Step" bloc. Meanwhile,  during the parliamentary elections of 2017, the situation was exactly  the opposite. Thus, the first number of the list received the most  votes on the rating system from the RPA, former Minister of Defense  Vigen Sargsyan 4,087, then follows the former head of the RPA faction  Vahram Baghdasaryan with 2660 votes, the third is RPA deputy chairman  Armen Ashotyan with 2396 votes MPs candidate in the Ararat region  Murad Muradyan won 1,840 votes, and already former Deputy Speaker  Edward Sharmazanov in Lori - 1,663 votes.

Very low rates in the rating system and in the "Bright Armenia" party  that went to parliament, which means that the votes of the PPA were  mainly given for the party leader Gagik Tsarukyan.

Thus, Eduard Babayan, the head of Gagik Tsarukyan's guard, scored the biggest  number of votes from the PPA, against which a criminal case had  recently been opened into the beating of a man. He scored 7472 votes,  and then followed Naira Zohrabyan, who ran in the Syunik region and  complained about the use of administrative resources by Governor  Hunan Poghosyan. Zohrabyan got 2,148 votes. MP Sergey Bagratyan  received 1492 votes.  MPsVahe Enfiajyan and Tigran Urikhanyan  received a little more than a thousand votes
