Vardan Ghukasyan's Greatest Chance to Become Mayor: 'Zhoghovurd'
This Sunday, Gyumri will elect a new mayor, and most likely that person will be former mayor Vardan Ghukasyan. Indeed, according to various polls, the candidate from the ruling Civil Contract party, Sarik Minasian, is in the lead, but he won't be able to gather the necessary 50+ votes.
As reported by the 'Zhoghovurd' newspaper, 'The second place is clearly Vardan Ghukasyan’s, who will automatically become the opposition leader, and if the other parties gaining council mandates join him, he will once again take the mayor's seat. In the end, it is worth noting that sociology is important, but the voter is the resident of Gyumri, and it is they who will decide who will lead the city.'
Nevertheless, Vardan Ghukasyan already envisions himself as the mayor, which is evident.
