Parliamentary elections were held in Kyrgyzstan on Sunday with the participation of 16 political parties. Preliminary results showed that four parties crossed the 7 percent threshold to enter the parliament.
Some parties which failed to meet the voting threshold organized nationwide protests on Monday demanding the election's annulment, claiming gross violations.
Kyrgyzstan's Central Election Commission on Tuesday annulled the results of the elections after clashes between police and protesters caused at least 590 injuries and one death.
