Representatives of the People\'s Democratic Party led by President Emomali Rakhmonov have won the most seats in the lower house of the Tajik parliament, Central Elections Commission Chairman Mirzoali Boltuyev said on Tuesday. The barrier of 5% needed to be represented in parliament has also been cleared by the Communist Party and the Islamic Revival Party, Boltuyev said. He said representatives of the Democratic Party, Social-Democratic Party and Socialist Party had failed to muster enough votes in the February 27 parliamentary polls.
