E. Baisalov: Amount of violations during
the elections influences the election results
Bishkek – We cannot consider the second
round parliamentary elections of March 13, 2005 as free and fair. The
leader of Coalition “For democracy and civil
society” Edil Baisalov declared about this on March 14, 2005 in Information
Agency AKIpress. “Organization of second round elections was worse than
first
round. There was no equal access for political parties to participate
in elections, numbers of manipulations were done with voters lists,
pressure from the side of administrative institutions was observed”,
declared E. Baisalov.
According to his words, massive putting
of ballots for the benefit of governmental candidates was observed,
there are facts on conducting campaigns on elections day, and massive
transporting of people to the polling stations by governmental candidates
was observed, particularly for the benefit of Bermet Akayeva.
In conclusion he pointed that amount of
violations during the elections of March 13, is so high that it directly
influences the election results.
