Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was re- elected after a campaign that’s been overshadowed by one candidate’s attempted assassination and another’s hunger strike. Sargsyan won with 59 percent of the vote to 37 percent for Raffi Hohanisyan, his closest competitor, with all ballots counted, Hermine Harutyunyan, a spokeswoman for the Central Electoral Commission in the capital, Yerevan, said by phone. While the election’s conduct showed an improvement over previous ballots, the vote lacked competition, according to observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Faute d'alternative crédible, Serge Sarkissian est assuré d'être réélu ce lundi. Même si un candidat a été victime d'une tentative d'assassinat et si un autre observe une grève de la faim pour protester contre un «scrutin truqué», l'élection présidentielle arménienne du 18 février est décrite comme «la plus ennuyeuse» que la petite république du sud du Caucase ait connue.
