According to VOA news the polls have closed in Kyrgyzstan. It will be interesting to see what the result is; so far it seems to have not been all fair play:

“The Kyrgyzstan election comes after several-thousand people in northern and eastern regions of the country blocked roads to protest court rulings that banned several popular candidates from running. According to the country’s Central Election Commission, in the eastern Tong district, the voting for one parliament seat was delayed for two weeks because the roadblocks made it impossible to deliver ballots.

“The blockade ended on Saturday, but the disqualified candidates have called for their supporters to vote against all candidates. If a majority of voters vote against all the candidates in a particular district, a second election would have to be held. Preliminary results are not expected before Monday. “

Could this become the next orange revolution? Perhaps. In any case, Argus has been doing a great job following this story.
