Kyrgyzstan’s Kyrk Uuz Party Withdraws from Snap Parliamentary Race

Kyrk Uuz, a political party in Kyrgyzstan, has officially withdrawn from the upcoming snap parliamentary elections.

The party submitted its withdrawal request to the Central Election Commission (CEC) on October 20, The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

“The Central Election Commission took note of the request from the Kyrk Uuz political party and annulled the registration of the party’s authorized representative for the elections, T. A. Kadyrkulov, as well as the financial representative, Zh. A. Dzhaparova, who were registered by a CEC decision dated October 3, 2025,” the CEC stated.

Earlier, three parties-Kyrk Uuz, Legalize, and Yntymak-had applied to participate in the early parliamentary elections under a multi-mandate electoral district.

The snap elections were called after Kyrgyzstan’s Parliament (Jogorku Kenesh) approved its self-dissolution on September 25, 2025. President Sadyr Japarov then signed a decree on September 30 to hold early elections on November 30.

As of October 1, Kyrgyzstan has 4.29 million registered voters. To facilitate voting abroad, 100 polling stations will be open worldwide. In neighboring Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz citizens can vote at seven locations, including Astana, Almaty (2 stations), Atyrau, Karaganda, Shymkent, and Taraz.
