Nikol Pashinyan only candidates for RA premier from Civil Contract -  faction rep 

ArmInfo. The vote is essentially secret, but our party's leader is Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and naturally, Nikol Pashinyan is the unequivocal and 100% prime minister candidate from the Civil Contract party. Civil Contract faction secretary Artur Hovhannisyan told reporters this on March 27 before the start of the extraordinary congress of the Civil Contract party.

When asked whether an alternative to Pashinyan or another scenario  within "Plan B" was being considered, Hovhannisyan stated that  Armenia is not a monarchy to consider a successor. At the same time,  he added, all conditions for honest and fair political competition  have been created within the Civil Contract party.

The next parliamentary elections are scheduled for June 7, 2026.  Armenia is a parliamentary republic. The political force that  receives the majority in parliament as a result of the elections will  have the right to elect the prime minister of the republic. The  following parties have already announced their participation in the  elections: the ruling Civil Contract party (candidate for prime  minister Nikol Pashinyan); Strong Armenia (candidate for prime  minister is businessman Samvel Karapetyan, who is under house arrest  for calling for the seizure of power); Prosperous Armenia (candidate  for prime minister has not yet been announced, the party leader is  businessman Gagik Tsarukyan, who previously stated that he is not  running for this post); Armenian National Congress (candidate for  prime minister is Levon Zurabyan); Republic (candidate for prime  minister is former prime minister Aram Sargsyan); Wings of Unity  political initiative (candidate for prime minister is former  ombudsman Arman Tatoyan); DOK party (candidate for prime minister is  blogger Vardan Ghukasyan, who is in an American prison); the I Am  Against Everyone movement (has not yet announced its name) (Their  candidate for prime minister).
