"According to the information of "Zhoghovurd" daily, these days both the government and the opposition are conducting internal polls among citizens in connection with the National Assembly elections to be held on June 7. Our sources convey that both within the authorities and within the opposition there is a serious concern that one force will not only not have a constitutional majority, but also will not be able to form the government alone, that is, to collect 50+ percent of voters' votes.
We learned that in all polls, the "Civil Agreement" party led by Nikol Pashinyan continues to be in the lead over other forces, to which the "Strong Armenia" party does not concede or concedes very little, then the forces led by Gagik Tsarukyan and Robert Kocharyan will enter the parliament.
Arman Tatoyan is close to it, and the others, according to those polls, will not succeed. The worrisome thing in these elections is that a large part of the public simply does not want to participate in the elections, they reject all the forces, not to participate in the elections. The presented image speaks of the deepening polarization and crisis of confidence in the political field. Although the current government continues to maintain a relative leading position, it is clear that this support alone is not enough to form a stable government.
This means that coalition negotiations or a second round are possible. There is fragmentation in the opposition field. many forces that have some support, but not enough to overcome the temporary threshold, do not unite, do not increase, reducing the possibility of a change of power "through one force".
Overall, the emerging political environment suggests that the upcoming elections may not yield a clear winner, instead creating a complex and negotiated political phase where not only numbers will play a decisive role, but also post-election alliances and political flexibility and expected developments, including arrests."
