Pashinyan does not plan to change the composition of the Armenian government
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that he does not intend to carry out personnel reshuffles in the government.
«I do not plan changes in the composition of the government. Members of the government — deputy prime ministers and ministers — will be reappointed. Certain changes will occur at other levels», Pashinyan said at a briefing after a meeting of the Armenian government.
Parliamentary elections in Armenia were held on June 7, 2026. According to official results, three political forces entered the National Assembly: the Civil Contract party received 49.7456% of the votes (726,819 votes), the Strong Armenia bloc — 23.2710% (340,060 votes), and the Armenia bloc — 9.9231% (144,983 votes). The Prosperous Armenia party, which at a certain stage of the vote count was considered a potential participant in the new parliament, ultimately received 58,287 votes (3.9893%) and failed to overcome the 4% threshold set by law.
In the new parliament, Civil Contract received 64 mandates, the Strong Armenia bloc — 29, and the Armenia bloc — 12. Thus, the ruling force retained a parliamentary majority but does not hold the constitutional majority required to unilaterally amend the country's Basic Law.
