Kyrgyzstan vote result cancelled after clashes
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, Oct 6, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Ex-Soviet Kyrgyzstan’s chief
electoral body said Tuesday it was cancelling the results of a parliamentary
vote that plunged the Central Asian country into clashes and political chaos.
The Central Electoral Commission said in a statement it had “invalidated
the election results” which saw parties close to pro-Russian President
Sooronbay Jeenbekov score big wins amid accusations of mass vote-buying
campaigns.
