According to preliminary data, approximately 30 deputies from the previous composition will make up the new parliamentary body of Kyrgyzstan, which will consist of 90 members.
This is indicated by the preliminary results of the early parliamentary elections held in the country on November 30, published on the official website of the Central Election Commission.
Among those elected are the former speaker of the parliament Nurlanbek uulu Turgunbek, the co-chairman of the Russian-Kyrgyz interparliamentary commission Gulya Kozhokulova and prominent parliamentarians Zhanar Akayev, Ulan Primov and Dastan Bekeshev.
According to the chairman of the Kyrgyz Central Election Commission, Tinchtik Shainazarov, these are preliminary results of the vote held on Sunday. The official results will be counted and announced within two weeks based on a manual count of protocols from polling stations.
Polling stations in Kyrgyzstan closed at 8:00 p.m. local time. According to the Central Election Commission, voter turnout was 34.31% (1,473,264 people) an hour before the end of voting, although information about the number of voters continues to come from polling stations abroad. The last of these polling stations, located in San Francisco (USA), will close on December 1 at 10:00 a.m. Kyrgyz time.
The current elections are being held under new rules: parliament is now elected using a majoritarian system. Thirty electoral districts have been established throughout the country, each of which elects three deputies. A total of 460 candidates, mostly self-nominated, are competing for 90 parliamentary seats. Parties were also allowed to nominate their own candidates, but only the socially conservative party “Intimak“ (Unity) took advantage of this right, presenting nine candidates. Nearly 80 of the 90 deputies of the previous parliament ran for a new term.
The elections were held early. According to the constitution, regular elections to the Jogorku Kenesh (unicameral parliament) were scheduled for November of the following year, followed by presidential elections just six weeks later. In order to avoid these events, the deputies of the previous composition decided to dissolve themselves on September 25, after which a date for new elections was set.
The elections were held in accordance with the constitution of the republic and were open and competitive. This was stated by the head of the mission, First Deputy Secretary General of the CIS Igor Petrishenko.
„The CIS observer mission concludes that the early elections for deputies to the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic on November 30, 2025 were held in full compliance with the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic and the electoral legislation. They were open, fair, competitive and corresponded to the principles of democratic elections. The free expression of the will of citizens was ensured“, he said, presenting the mission report.
