The opposition party Strong Armenia finished second with 23.29% of the vote, a significant distance from the ruling party’s performance. This gap grants Pashinyan the parliamentary leverage necessary to push his agenda without relying on coalition partners or external political compromises.

Following the vote, the Central Election Commission confirmed the figures, underscoring a clear public endorsement of the current administration’s trajectory. By securing nearly half the total vote, Civil Contract strengthens its grip on the legislative body, effectively neutralizing the immediate electoral challenge posed by opposition forces.
