Kyrgyzstan election: President rejects new PM Japarov
Kyrgyzstan's president has rejected the country's newly appointed prime minister, in the latest political deadlock in the Central Asian state.
Sooronbay Jeenbekov asked parliament to vote again after MPs chose nationalist politician Sadyr Japarov.
The president said there were doubts over whether lawmakers had followed voting rules.
