The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) intends to widen its control of most local government bodies across the country as a result of upcoming elections, one of its leaders said on Wednesday.
Galust Sahakian, a deputy chairman of the HHK, said President Serzh Sarkisian's party expects to win about 70 percent of mayoral posts and seats on municipal and village councils that will be up for grabs this summer and September.
"We will be participating [in the elections] very actively and our candidates will run in all places," Sahakian told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am). "I think that we will increase our presence [in local government] after the autumn elections," he said.
