Even though the pre-election campaign period of local government elections starts on August 22nd and ends on August 7, some of the candidates are still rejecting to take part in the elections, after being registered as nominated candidates.
This information was received to “FastInfo” from the Central Election Commission.
As a result of such changes, we have the following situation.
In Agarak city, Syunik region, a nominated candidate for local government elections Samvel Melikyan , has rejected, as result of which current mayor of the city Mkhitar Zakaryan has no competitors.
In Qajaran city, of the same region, we still have the same situation, here another nominated candidate Rafayel Lalayan has rejected, and current mayor Vartan Gevorgyan is the only nominated candidate.
We have such occasions happened in Ararat region, especially in Vedy city, where one candidate has also rejected, but here, at least, another 3 candidates remain for election.
Note, all the candidates can still reject until August 30.
