Uzbekistan votes in its first parliamentary election since President Shavkat Mirziyoyev came into power in 2016 and ushered in an era of reform after years of isolation and authoritarian rule
Britain's influential magazine The Economist this week named Uzbekistan as its country of the year, saying"no other country travelled so far" in 2019.
Mirziyoyev has been lauded for doing away with many of Karimov's authoritarian excesses, releasing some political prisoners, battling forced labour and opening up the landlocked state to tourism and foreign investment. Currently the Liberal Democratic Party is the largest in the legislature with 52 seats, followed by Milli Tiklanish, known in English as the National Revival Democratic Party, with 36.
