A senior business executive working for one of Armenia's wealthiest entrepreneurs will get a parliament seat reserved for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) thanks to last-minute resignations of two eminent members of the opposition party.
Armen Babayan, executive director of the Yerevan-based company Grand Candy, was seventh on the list of candidates fielded by Dashnaktsutyun for the May 6 parliamentary elections.
Official election results gave the party more than five percent of the vote translating into five seats in Armenia's new parliament. Dashnaktsutyun was therefore expected to be represented in the 131-member National Assembly by candidates holding the five top positions on the party's electoral slate.
