In Kurshab and Alai districts, where opposition candidates Adakhan Madumarov and Marat Sultanov called for a revote, leaders and outsiders allegedly changed places.
"That these leaders have called themselves elected is illegal," the Central Election Commission explained. "According to the Election Code, if the vote is deemed as faulty at any polling station, and the result influences the vote results for the entire district, a new vote shall be organized at this station within two weeks."
At the same time, six members and the chairman of the Kurshab district election commission have complained that on March 14 about 5,000 Madumarov's supporters blocked them in the district government office until 2 a.m. and "intimidated [the commission] into signing a rigged-election ruling for a number of stations." The officials filed a complaint with the police and the Central Election Commission.
