Armenia’s constitutional court on Saturday rejected a request by the country’s pro-Russia opposition to overturn the results of a June parliamentary election, in which pro-Western Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s party was re-elected.
The ruling Civil Contract party took almost 50% of the vote. Opposition groups complained of a spate of arrests before the vote that targeted their parliamentary candidates and supporters.
A group of international electoral observers noted allegations of vote-buying and other electoral violations, but said voting had gone smoothly in most polling stations.
