Armenian PM’s party far ahead with partial election results
YEREVAN, Armenia - Partial results in Armenia’s snap parliamentary elections show a strong lead for the party of acting prime minister Nikol Pashinyan, who called the election in a bid to ease anger over a peace deal he signed with Azerbaijan.But as the count continued early Monday, the bloc of Pashinyan’s main rival said it wouldn’t accept the results until doubts about the vote were dispelled.The country’s elections commission said that with about 47% of the country’s precincts counted, Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party had 58% of the vote with former president Robert Kocharyan’s bloc in a distant second place with about 19%.
