The Homeland Party has officially confirmed its independent participation in the upcoming Vagharshapat municipal elections, dismissing speculation about forming electoral alliances. A party representative clarified their stance, emphasizing a commitment to running without coalition partners.
In a public statement, the party expressed appreciation for support from various opposition groups while firmly reiterating its decision to contest the elections independently. The representative noted that while consultations with other opposition forces have occurred and will continue, these discussions have not altered the party’s fundamental position regarding its solo electoral bid.
The statement also acknowledged Samvel Babayan’s endorsement of a candidate in neighboring Etchmiadzin, characterizing such individual endorsements as natural within the broader political landscape. The party maintains it remains open to dialogue with all genuine opposition movements challenging the current government, though this openness hasn’t translated into formal electoral partnerships for the Vagharshapat race.
Political observers note this declaration solidifies the electoral landscape in Vagharshapat, where the Homeland Party appears determined to present its platform directly to voters without the filter of coalition compromises.
