Kyrgyzstan vote result cancelled after clashes

BISHKEK – Ex-Soviet Kyrgyzstan’s chief electoral body said Tuesday it was cancelling the results of a parliamentary vote that plunged the Central Asian country into clashes and political chaos. The Central Electoral Commission said in a statement it had “invalidated the election results” which saw parties close to pro-Russian President Sooronbay Jeenbekov score big wins amid accusations of mass vote-buying campaigns.
