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 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.

Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but had been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by the government in Yerevan since a separatist war ended in 1994, leaving the region and substantial surrounding territory in Armenian hands.
Hostilities flared in late September 2020, and the Azerbaijani military pushed deep into Nagorno-Karabakh and nearby areas in six weeks of fighting involving heavy artillery and drones that killed more than 6,000 people.
Pashinyan, who came to power after leading large street protests in 2018 that ousted his predecessor, has defended the deal as a painful but necessary move that prevented Azerbaijan from overrunning the entire Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Sunday's ballot involved 21 political parties and four electoral blocs. A party needs to win 54% of the seats in parliament in order to form a government.
