DUAL POWER EMERGED INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, SAYS THE EXPERT OF ELECTION SYSTEMS

The expert of Election Systems Center Arthur Aftandilyan comments
on the results of the conference of the Republican Party for
Exclusive.am. "The election of Serge Sargsyan as chair of the Council
of the Republican Party led to a political and structural dual power
(conflict of powers). If you read the powers of the council and the
leader of the party in the bylaws of the Republican Party, you will
see the conflict of powers. The essense of the political dual power
is that Serge Sargsyan entered the leadership of the Republican Party
with his team, which is different from the old team and accepts only
one leader. This duality will manifest itself in further developments
inside the political party and internal competition. Will it hinder
or favor the pre-election campaign? It will become clear this fall.

Nevertheless, the recent developments connected with the Republican
Party spur the development of the system of political parties in
Armenia. I think it is the turn of the opposition. If they manage
to establish an equal alliance and choose a correct strategy, we all
will benefit."
