According to the final results of the parliamentary elections that the Central Election Committe has revealed, Ak Zhol, Social Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan and Communists’ party have cleared 0.5% threshold. As AKIpress informs, the seats in Parliament have been distributed in the following way: Ak Zhol will have 71 seats, Social Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan will have 11 seats, Communists’ party will have 8 seats. The opposition party Ata-Meken that after the preliminary results was on the second place following Ak-Zhol did not meet the 0.5% threshold.

CEC Chair Klara Kabilova said the parliamentary elections were conducted openly and transparently and met democratic norms. CEC approved protocol on distribution of seats in Parliament today between Ak Zhol, Social Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan and Communists’ Party of Kyrgyzstan. She says:

The new Parliament will have representatives of almost all sectors of the society, these are scholars, teachers, lawyers, culture figures, sportsmen, businessmen and public figures. More than 20 deputies are representatives of different ethnic groups living in Kyrgyzstan. There are no parties which have won or lost, we believe, the people of Kyrgyzstan have won.

However, Ata-Meken party leader ex-deputy Omurbek Tekebaev and party’s candidate Temir Sariev do not think so. Temir Sariev said that CEC is responsible for the country and its future and therefore should folloe the law. He believes that:

If CEC members consider this issue only from the point of politics, rather than law, CEC Chair and members should bear all responsibility for this decision. I think that there is God’s trial except conscience trial, and if CEC members take illegal decision, they will be responsible for all that will be in the country. If today they tramp rights of thousands people, they should understand that tomorrow their rights will be also tramped. That’s why only CEC members should bear all the responsibility.

Ata-Meken’s supporters began political hunger strike in almost all regions of Kyrgyzstan. They believe that the election is invalid and therefore demand a re-election that would be open, fair and transparent.
