Kyrgyz Elections Held Constitutional

The Constitutional Court of Kyrgyzstan found recent presidential elections, won by current President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, constitutional. Numerous complaints alleging violations were passed to local law-enforcing bodies for investigation. Earlier Commonwealth of Independent States observers found the elections “transparent and democratic,” whereas Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe observers reported “mass violations” and found the elections “inconsistent with international standards.”
