Early results in Armenia’s snap parliamentary elections show the party of the acting Prime Minister far ahead of rivals. The country’s elections commission said Sunday that with votes counted from about 8% of Armenia’s 2008 precincts, Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party had nearly 62% of the vote with former President Robert Kocharyan’s party in a distant second place with 18%. One other party hovered near the 5% threshold to get seats in parliament. The early election was called by Mr. Pashinyan in a bid to ease public anger over the peace deal he signed as Prime Minister in November, which set off months of protests demanding his resignation.
