“In order to prevent the situation in the country from deteriorating, such a decision was made. Of the 11 members present at the meeting of the Central Election Commission, all unanimously supported the proposal,” said Shaildabekova.
Commissioner Gulnar Jurabayev told the website “24.kg” that the issue of dissolving the commission had also been discussed. “I believe that we have discredited ourselves with this election campaign, and therefore the best and most correct decision would be to end the term early,” Jurabayeva said.
According to the official results, the political parties close to President Sooronbay Dzeenbekov have won the election. According to these results, only four of the 16 parties have entered parliament, and three of them are loyal to President Dzeenbekov.
Opposition protests have been taking place in Bishkek and elsewhere in the country since Monday, with participants challenging the official results of Sunday’s parliamentary elections and calling for their annulment. More than 500 people have been injured in the protests, but one has died.
Protesters released former President Almazbek Atambayev on Tuesday morning by invading the building of the State National Security Committee, where he was detained. The demonstrators also occupied the parliament building in the country’s capital, Bishkek.
