The Kyrgyz opposition Ata-Meken party, which, according to the results of counting 70% of the votes, passed the 5% threshold for voting in the elections to the Jogorku Kenesh (parliament) of the country, dropped out of the ranks after the failure on the CEC website. According to RIA Novosti, the data stopped updating after 70% of the ballots were counted, the table with the results of the parties disappeared, and after half an hour the system displayed 90% of the ballots counted.
According to the results of counting 90% of ballots, three pro-government parties are in the lead: Ata-Zhurt Kyrgyzstan (16.85%), Ishenim (13.5%) and Yntymak (10.81%). Among the opposition parties that previously managed to cross the 5% barrier are Alliance, Butun Kyrgyzstan and Yiman Nuru. According to the updated data, Ata-Meken won about 3% of the votes.
For the first time, elections in Kyrgyzstan are held according to a mixed, party-majority system. Polling stations closed at 20:00 local time (17:00 Moscow time). Two days before the elections, the Kyrgyz authorities announced the prevention of a coup attempt. Deputy Bakytbek Zhetigenov was detained today in connection with the seizure of power.
