Leader of the Marxist Party of the Republic of Armenia Davit Hakobyan,
nominated for the supplemental election at N10 electoral district,
stated today he isn’t going to withdraw his candidacy neither in
favour of Nikol Pashinyan nor for anyone else.
"I will not withdraw may candidacy for anyone, neither will I ‘support’
anyone or feel much respect for my brothers and colleagues," stated
Armenia’s main Marxist during today’s press conference.
A supplemental election was scheduled at N10 electoral district after
businessman and MP Khachatur Sukiasyan resigned from his mandates. Six
people nominated their candidacy in this election. Davit Hakobyan and
chief editor of Haykakan Zhamanak ("Armenian Times") Nikol Pashinyan
(supported by the Armenian National Congress) are among the candidates.
