Supporters of the Butun Kyrgyzstan Party, which failed to pass the 5-percent vote threshold to the Kyrgyz parliamentary, blocked a highway between Bishkek and Osh in the southern Jalal-Abad region, the local media reported Tuesday.

The protesters, most of them local residents, asked the Central Election Commission (CEC) to recount the votes for the party which got 4.84 percent of votes nationwide in the election.

They said the outcome of the election was rigged in favour of individual parties, therefore they demanded a vote recount to enable the party to get its votes and represent their interests in parliament, according to local 24.kg news agency.

The Butun Kyrgyzstan party leader, former security chief Adakhan Madumarov, claimed he had tried to stop the rally.

At a press conference in Bishkek, Madumarov accused the CEC of "manipulating figures" to prevent his party from entering the parliament, saying that the party will struggle for every vote.

"That is just eyewash. How can the number of voters increase by 200,000 over one night? Electoral roll was changed two times and that is violation the Election Code," said Adakhan Madumarov.

The CEC Chairman Akylbek Sariyev said earlier Tuesday that the final number of registered voter in the election turned out to be 3 million, instead of the declared 2.8 million. But he did not explain the cause of the growth.

Therefore, losing parties began to question the change, doubting the bigger figure may drag down their supporting rates thus hinder them into the parliament.

Kyrgyzstan held a popular vote on Oct. 10, to elect the country's first parliamentary democracy. According to the initial results, five parties have passed the thresholds.

The CEC said official election returns have not been obtained yet and may slightly differ from preliminary figures.
