The Prime Minister stated that, under the provisions of the Armenian Constitution, the current government must resign following the initial session of the newly convened parliament. He indicated that the president is expected to receive an official resignation letter in the near future. Following established constitutional procedure, the president will then proceed to appoint a new prime minister after the government has submitted its resignation.
The selection process dictates that the candidate for the new prime minister must be proposed by a majority vote within the parliament. Observers anticipate that N. Pasinian may once again be appointed to the role.
This expectation stems from the fact that his party, “Civil Agreement,” secured the majority of seats in the National Assembly during the parliamentary elections held on June 7. The transition suggests a formal shift in the executive branch leadership. The constitutional framework outlines a clear sequence: resignation by the current cabinet, followed by presidential appointment based on parliamentary endorsement.
This procedural step is critical to establishing the new administration’s mandate. The focus now shifts to the parliamentary majority’s nomination, which will determine the individual who assumes the role of prime minister and leads the government.
