“The elections for the Jogorku Kenesh of the VIII convocation took place on November 30. I want to emphasize that their organization was as transparent as possible and met all legislative requirements. We did not use administrative resources to assist or hinder candidates, and public servants were required to completely refrain from interfering in campaign activities,” he stressed.
For the first time in the history of Kyrgyzstan, a remote voting system was implemented, allowing all voters to participate in the election.
The voting ended at 20:00, and preliminary results were known just a minute later. The entire process was broadcast live under public supervision, ensuring its transparency.
However, despite the efforts made to ensure openness, information about vote buying and the involvement of certain candidates in this cannot be ignored. We are observing the active dissemination of such data on social media. Many materials are already under review by the Central Election Commission and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Some information is also being gathered from open sources, and the commission has already begun verifying it.
We understand your concerns and calls for immediate action that are being voiced on social media. The Central Election Commission will undertake a thorough examination of all submitted materials. Within the next 2-3 days, all violations at polling stations will be analyzed, including the actively discussed 13th district, and decisions will be made in strict accordance with the law.
Our main priority is to make fair and justified decisions to maintain trust in the electoral system and protect the reputation of the state. We ask you to remain calm and not to jump to conclusions until the verification is completed,” he added.
