ArmInfo. Wednesday on May 20 the Central Electoral Commission of
Armenia approved the applications by the candidates to the Yerevan
Elders’ Council from Orinats Yerkir Party Gagik Baghdasaryan, Karen
Margaryan, Karapet Shahinyan and Kristine Ohanyan and the candidate
from ANC Igor Malkhasyan, for withdrawal of their candidacy.

The law on the local self-government in Yerevan has come into force
recently. It stipulates that the Elder’s Council through proportional
elections will elect Yerevan Mayor. The elections will be held on
May 31.

The Elder’s Council will comprise 65 people. The first candidate in
the list of the party that will gain majority at the Council will
automatically become Yerevan Mayor.
