Kyrgyzstan forms coalition government

By bne IntelliNews November 4, 2015

Four parties elected in the October 4 parliamentary election in Kyrgyzstan have officially formed a majority coalition in the country’s parliament, Jogorku Kenesh, according to a statement by the Jogorku Kenesh.

Kyrgyzstan held elections on October 4, but none of the elected parties managed to win an absolute majority, making a parliamentary coalition necessary to form a government.  

The four parties of the newly-formed majority coalition are the Social-Democratic Party (SDPK), who won the elections with 27.56% of the votes (38 out of 120 seats), Ata-Meken (11 seats), the Kyrgyzstan party (18 seats), and Onuguu-Progress (13 seats). The coalition thus makes up 80 out of 120 seats and will be led by the leader of the SDPK Party, Chynybay Tursunbekov, the statement said.

The full composition of the new Kyrgyz government will be determined within the next seven days, the statement said. Additionally, the statement noted that Prime Minister Temir Sariyev is currently under consideration for retaking his current position in the new government.

The parliamentary election in Kyrgyzstan was “competitive and provided voters with a wide range of choice, while the manner in which they were administered highlighted the need for better procedures and increased transparency”, said the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on October 5.
