ArmInfo. There is no evident presidential front-runner in Armenia,
Leader of the National Democratic Union, presidential candidate Vazgen
Manukyan briefed, Monday.
The candidate urged the opposition not to go on a leash of the
authorities and not to sell their votes to them if there is a second
round of election, but to give them to opposition candidates. ‘If
the opposition do not take the bluff, there will be a second round
of election’, V. Manukyan said.
Nevertheless, he is sceptical about the idea that opposition
representative can gain victory in the first round. However, he
believes that public indifference will be crucial for the results of
the first round. The authorities can take advantage of it and gain
victory already in the first round of election, V. Manukyan said.
