Varshasb Royanov's People's Democratic Party of Tajikistan easily won re-election in the single-party state, defeating the parliamentary opponents of the recent wage and work reform that allowed vacation days to workers; the PDPT gained all of the parliament seats, leaving the Agrarian Party of Tajikistan and the big tent opposition without representation in the government.
