Presidential elections were held in Tajikistan on 6 November 2006. [1] The result was a victory for incumbent President Emomali Rahmonov, who won a third term in office after receiving 80% of the vote. [2]
Five candidates contested the elections:
The Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan, the Democratic Party, and the Social Democratic Party all boycotted the elections, criticising the country's electoral apparatus as unreliable and refusing to accept the constitutional changes that allowed Rakhmanov to seek a third term.
A rally by opposition parties was broken up. [3] According to the BBC, [4] none of the four candidates opposing Rahmonov have publicly criticised him, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has said that "[n]o signs of a competitive campaign have been observed thus far". [5]
CIS election monitors declared the elections "legal, free and transparent", while the OSCE condemned them, and the election has been called "flawed and unfair but peaceful." [6]
