Эстер Саакян решением ЦИК Армении сложила депутатский мандат, ее в парламенте сменит Эдгар Аракелян

АрмИнфо.  Центральная избирательная комиссия (ЦИК) на заседании, состоявшемся 28 октября 2026 года, признала утратившей силу регистрацию кандидата в депутаты Эстер Саакян, включенной в пропорциональный список партии "Гражданский договор" на внеочередных парламентских выборах 7 июня 2026 года.

Как сообщили АрмИнфо в пресс-службе ЦИК Армении, решение было принято после того, как депутат подала заявление о самоотводе.  "ЦИК признал утратившей силу регистрацию кандидата в депутаты Эстер Саакян, включенной в пропорциональный список партии "Гражданский договор" на внеочередных парламентских выборах 7 июня 2026 года и подавшей заявление о самоотводе. Помимо этого, был составлен протокол о передаче мандата досрочно прекратившего полномочия депутата от партии "Гражданский договор" следующему по очереди кандидату из избирательного списка партии - Эдгару Аракеляну", - резюмировали в Комиссии.

Напомним, что ранее Эдгар Аракелян был членом партии "Оринац Еркин" Артура Багдасаряна.

Напомним, что 7 июня 2026 года в Армении прошли очередные парламентские выборы.  Явка на выборах составила 58,97%. В парламент прошли правящая партия "Гражданский договор" Никола Пашиняна, блок Самвела Карапетяна "Сильная Армения", блок второго президента Роберта Кочаряна "Армения". У остальных кандидатов результаты ниже необходимого проходного порога в 4% для партий и 8- 10% для блоков. Примечательно, что партия "Процветающая Армения" бизнесмена Гагика Царукяна потеряла проходные 4% процента после корректировки ЦИК результатов предварительных подсчетов голосования на парламентских выборах в стране. В связи с этим, партия не вошла в новый парламент. Отметим, что в день выборов с раннего утра наблюдатели и журналисты сигнализировали о многочисленных нарушениях при организации голосования со стороны правящей силы.
