"Against All" party starts its election campaign with mud protest

ArmInfo.The "Against All" party has started  its election campaign with a mud protest.

Specifically, they placed a poster in central Yerevan featuring the  logos of the Armenian parties participating in the June 7, 2026,  parliamentary elections, and started throwing mud at the poster,  while urging passersby to join them.

As Nina Karapetyants, the party's prime ministerial candidate,  clarified in an interview with journalists, they wanted to show  voters what these political forces were truly offering them. "They'll  come to the people looking polished and discuss grand plans, but we  won't see any substantive discussions about the problems. After the  elections, they'll apologize with serious expressions for not keeping  their promise," Karapetyants is confident. She noted that she doesn't  view their action as frivolous. 

According to the party member, they merely demonstrated the current  picture political landscape in Armenia. Karapetyants believes that  the biggest problem in Armenia today is the polarization of society.   "Some citizens know exactly who they'll vote for, but others simply  won't go to the polls. This has been confirmed by opinion polls.  Through our protests, we want to showcase the alternative  choices  available to our citizens. It mat seem frivolous, but we also have no  other means of attracting attention: we don't have billions, we don't  have administrative resources, and constant coverage  on Public  Television. So, we're creating hype. Unlike others who promise  something to voters with serious faces, yes, we're using hype.   However, we don't say, 'Artsakh is Armenia, that's it,' and then  apologize for the failure,"  the party's prime ministerial candidate  said.

According to Karapetyants, their party is the only one with a  concrete political proposal. "We have a very serious proposal that  could lead to fundamental changes. We believe that small parties  should have the opportunity to enter parliament, and in this sense,  the 4% threshold set for them is simply insurmountable," Karapetyants  lamented.  According to her, their party intends to secure as many  votes as possible and represent in parliament the positions of all  those who oppose "all" political forces in Armenia.
