The opposition in Tajikistan has said it will mount a legal challenge to the results of Parliamentary elections. The Election Commission said President Imomali Rakhmon's party won almost all the seats in the lower house of Parliament in the election. It said the opposition Islamic Revival Party won two seats, and five went to minority parties including the Communists. Opposition party Chief Muhiddin Kabiri told newsmen that the election results, though preliminary, are unfair. There was massive falsification and we will take action within the laws of Tajikistan. International monitors have said, voting was marred by widespread fraud.
