Armenian election commission revokes Alliance Party registration

Armenia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) has revoked the registration of the Alliance Progressive Centrist Party after the latter formally withdrew from the upcoming parliamentary elections.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the commission said it had received the party board’s decision, confirming its refusal to contest the June 7 vote. Alliance Party representatives verified the decision at the emergency session of the CEC.

As a result, the party will not appear in the No. 13 slot on ballot papers for the elections.
