A protester outside the Armenian Central Election Commission has gone on a hunger strike.

Those gathered outside the Armenian Central Election Commission building greeted the official results of the parliamentary elections with cries of "Shame." World boxing champion Israel Hakobyan went on a hunger strike, demanding new elections.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," the Armenian Central Election Commission announced the final results after a vote recount. According to them, Prosperous Armenia received 3.893% of the vote, failing to pass the parliamentary threshold. Three parties entered parliament: Civil Contract with 49.74% of the vote, the Strong Armenia bloc with 23.27%, and the Armenia bloc with 9.92%. The Central Election Commission is also considering re-voting at three polling stations where the results were annulled. Opposition supporters gathered outside the Central Election Commission building.

World boxing champion Israel Akopkokhyan has declared a hunger strike in protest of the election results.

"I always fight against injustice. They took everything from us, including our homeland, but they have no right to take away our votes. I am declaring a hunger strike until new elections are held," Novosti Armenia quoted him as saying at a protest outside the building of the Central Election Commission of Armenia.

Hakobkokhyan demands that the current results be annulled and a new vote be called, Yerevan Today writes.

After the announcement of the final results of the parliamentary elections, opposition representatives and their supporters chanted "Shame" and accused the Central Election Commission of distorting the voting results, Armenia Today reports.

They called the commission members "failed artists" and "executors of Aliyev's will."

The Strong Armenia bloc presented sufficient grounds to invalidate the results of the parliamentary elections, said Aram Vardevanyan, number three on the bloc's electoral list.

"We presented grounds that the election results should be declared invalid. We saw the attitude shown toward the Prosperous Armenia Party. According to the law, a repeat vote should have been announced (at those polling stations where the election results were annulled)," Vardevanyan said.

According to him, the violations recorded during the electoral process call into question the legitimacy of the voting results.

The Prosperous Armenia Party of oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan, the Armenia bloc of former President Robert Kocharyan, and the Strong Armenia bloc of businessman Samvel Karapetyan are the most pro-Russian participants in the Armenian parliamentary elections, analysts previously noted.

The parliamentary elections effectively became a referendum on the future of the current government and Armenia's foreign policy course. The "Caucasian Knot" has published a report titled "2026 Elections to the National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia".
