КЫРГЫЗСТАН ВЫБИРАЕТ НОВОГО ПРЕЗИДЕНТА

Киргизские избиратели заполонили избирательные участки, рано утром в воскресенье, чтобы избрать нового лидера страны в первый раз после свержения президента Курманбека Бакиева в прошлом году.

Более 2200 избирательных участков открылись по всей стране в 8 часов утра по местному времени (02:00 GMT) и закроются в 7 часов вечера по местному времени (13:00 GMT).

В общей сложности в выборах принимают участие 16 кандидатов. Семь официально зарегистрированных кандидатов незадолго до выборов вышли из президентской гонки, в том числе трое из них в четверг.

Временному президенту Розе Отунбаевой, пришедшей к власти после того, как Бакиев был отстранен от власти на  фоне крупномасштабных народных протестов в апреле 2010 года, запрещено выдвигать свою кандидатуру на выборах. Она покинит президентский пост 31 декабря.
