Moscow: The Central Election Commission of Kyrgyzstan invalidated the results of the weekend's parliamentary election on Tuesday after mass protests in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek and other cities.
Opposition supporters had seized government buildings overnight and demanded a new election. Hundreds of people were hurt and one person died.
The decision was made in order to "avoid tension" in the country, head of the Commission Nurzhan Shaildabekova told the Interfax news agency.
