Kyrgyzstan's Central Election Committee on Monday evening completed counting the ballots for the Central Asian country's first parliamentary elections after the ousting of ex-president Kurmanbek Bakiyev.
After 100% of the ballots were counted by the country's Central Election Committee, five parties were able to pass the 5% barrier to form the single-chamber parliament. Almost 56% eligible voters took part in the elections.
The list of the parties is topped by the nationalist Ata-Zhurt party with 8.88% of the vote and the Social Democratic Party (8.04%).
They are followed by the Ar-Namys party of former prime minister Felix Kulov with the 7.74% of the vote, the Respublika party, which has not sided with either the interim government or the opposition (7.24%) of the vote, and the pro-constitution Ata-Meken party (5.6%).
