YEREVAN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th December, 2018) Acting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's My Step Alliance wins the country's snap parliamentary election with over 70 percent of the vote, the Central Election Commission said on Monday after 100 percent of ballots were counted.
"The My Step bloc received 884,400 votes which accounts for 70.45 percent. The Prosperous Armenia party is second with 8.37 percent of the vote (103,800). The Bright Armenia party is third with 6.37 percent of the vote (just over 80,000)," the commission said in a statement on its website, having counted ballots from all 2,010 polling stations.
�Meanwhile, Armenia's former ruling Republican Party for the first time failed to cross the 5-percent threshold to get into the country's parliament, having ensured only 4.7 percent of the vote. The Republican Party had seats in all successive parliaments from 1995 until now.
