Abstract: Elections are held regularly in Kyrgyzstan, but to what extent are
they meaningful? Meaningful in the sense that the winner is not known
beforehand and that politicians are held accountable. Are there any
interesting patterns in terms of electoral competition or candidate
profiles, perhaps along the lines of urban/rural, north/south? Where have
parties been more prevalent and does that give us a hint of how the
proportional system will work. At a time when Kyrgyzstan is preparing for
new elections a study on the most recent elections, both parliamentary and
local, seems warranted.
