REPUBLICAN MP SAYS PRIME MINISTER LIKELY TO GARNER 68
PERCENT OF VOTE
YEREVAN, JANUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: A senior member of
the governing Republican Party said today the party
will have around 1,500 campaign offices across the
country to advertise its chairman, prime minister
Serzh Sarkisian as the best presidential candidate.
Galust Sahakian, a deputy chairman of the party and
an MP, said the majority of offices will be stationed
in the party’s regional chapters’ rooms.
Galust Sahakian said party activist will go `from
street to street, from village to village’ to convey
Serzh Sarkisian’s manifesto to as many voters as
possible.
According to Sahakian, some 60,000 members of the
party and sympathizers from its junior coalition
government partner-the Prosperous Armenia-will be
engaged in the electioneering for the prime minister.
Sahakian said Republican members of all-level
election commissions have had extensive training
courses to have improved their knowledge. He argued
that Serzh Sarkisian is very likely to receive up to
68 percent of all votes in the February 19
presidential election.
Sahakian said chances for a run-off are very
little, because his party will be working to ensure
that the prime minister wins outright.
