Barev Yerevan bloc running for the Eleders' Council of Yerevan has appealed to the Administrative Court against the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia, the bloc's campaign headquarters told ArmInfo.
The source reports that Barev Yerevan bloc demands excluding the Republican Party of Armenia from the election campaign as RPA candidate for Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan campaigned on the funds of taxpayers.
"On April 7 the supporters of the mayor distributed flowers and greeting cards with his photo inside to women, which is an open campaign at the expense of taxpayers," the statement reads.
To recall, six parties and a union have submitted their party lists to run to the Elders' Council of Yerevan: Republican Party of Armenia, Prosperous Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir, Armenian National Congress, Mission, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, and "Barev Yerevan" Union. The elections will be held on May 5. Political parties will fight for 65 seats at the Elders' Council. The election campaign started on April 7.
