  • Parties close to Kyrgyzstan's pro-Russian President Sooronbai Jeenbekov appeared set Sunday to form a government following parliamentary elections overshadowed by vote-buying accusations possible political unrest. Results based on 95 percent of ballots cast showed the Birimdik party of Jeenbekov's younger brother Asylbek Jeenbekov and the Mekenim Kyrgyzstan party associated with the powerful Matraimov family -- a presumed ally of the president -- each getting roughly 24 percent of the vote. A third pro-presidential party, the Kyrgyzstan Party, scored nine percent of the vote according to the preliminary count, while a nationalist party Butun Kyrgyzstan just edged past the seven percent threshold required for entry, according to Central Electoral Commission data. Another nationalist party, Mekenchil, looked set to miss out narrowly with 6.9 percent, leaving four parties in the parliament. Kyrgyzstan has seen two presidents overthrown in revolutions since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, but has enjoyed relative stability since 2010. Two parties in the outgoing parliament that positioned themselves in opposition to Jeenbekov, Bir Bol and Ata-Meken, fell well short of the threshold, a development that could spark protests after allegations of voter bribery mounted on Sunday. While few Kyrgyz parties have identifiable ideologies and instead revolve around powerful personalities, both Birimdik and Mekenim Kyrgyzstan presented themselves as supporters of deeper integration with the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union. The Matraimov family's figurehead Rayimbek Matraimov is a former customs service official who was the target of anti-corruption protests last year. Videos purporting to show vote-buying schemes favouring the two victorious parties abounded on social media on Sunday, but there was no immediate sign that either would be punished. Surrounded by authoritarian states with rubber-stamp legislatures, elections in mountainous Kyrgyzstan offer a colourful and sometimes unpredictable contrast. Yet with the coronavirus pandemic battering paltry incomes, many warned that the stage was set for massive ballot fraud by well-resourced parties. tol-cr/as/jxb
