Kyrgyzstan: OSCE/ODIHR Final Report on the 16 December 2007 Pre-term Parliamentary Elections
In their Statement of Preliminary Findings and Conclusions, the OSCE/ODIHR and the OSCE PA concluded that the 16 December pre-term parliamentary elections failed to meet a number of OSCE commitments, despite respecting some that underscore existing pluralism. The elections were a missed opportunity, falling short of public expectations for the further consolidation of the democratic election process in Kyrgyzstan. Further efforts and political will are necessary to underpin the progress which was evident during the 2005 presidential election.
