Nationalists ahead in Kyrgyz poll

Early results in Kyrgyzstan's parliamentary election show a narrow lead for the opposition nationalist party Ata Zhurt.
Members of its leadership worked under President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who was ousted in a mass uprising in April.
The pro-government Social Democrats and four other parties passed the 5% mark required to gain seats in parliament.
Analysts say no party has an overall majority so parties will have to unite to form a coalition government.
Sunday's election comes just months after 400 people died in inter-ethnic violence in the south of the country.
Turnout was 56% nationwide and even higher in the southern city of Osh, which saw some of the worst of last June's clashes between the Kyrgyz majority and ethnic Uzbeks.
Coalition cabinet
In all, 29 parties are competing for 120 seats in parliament.
Early results suggest that coalition-building will be needed to form a parliamentary majority with the right to select a prime minister.
