For her part, Otunbaeva told akipress.org that the vote did not surprise her. Noting that she was \"not going to last long in the power relations that emerged,\" Otunbaeva blamed supporters of former President Askar Akaev and opportunists in parliament and the government. She promised to remain active and fight to \"clean up politics.\" (RFE/RL)
