Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was not elected Prime Minister at Wednesday’s special session of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia.
Nikol Pashinyan not elected Armenia PM
As reported earlier, the “Way Out” (Yelk) Faction had nominated acting PM Nikol Pashinyan’s candidacy to this office, whereas the other factions had nominated no candidates.
But at the same time, Yelk had asked all MPs not to vote for Pashinyan so that the parliament can be dissolved a week later—on October 31, when a PM is not elected yet again. In case of such a scenario, a snap parliamentary election will be conducted in the first half of December.
