Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov has signed a decree removing Akylbek Japarov from his position as Prime Minister and Head of the Presidential Administration. The announcement was confirmed by the presidential press service.
Akylbek Japarov, who has served as Prime Minister since October 2021, was dismissed as part of a transition to a new role. However, no official details have been provided regarding his next appointment.
The Cabinet of Ministers will remain intact and continue its operations under Acting Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev, who previously held the position of First Deputy Prime Minister.
Speculation on social media suggests that Akylbek Japarov may be appointed as Kyrgyzstan's ambassador to the United States, a role currently vacant, though no official confirmation has been made.
This leadership change comes as Kyrgyzstan continues to navigate its political and economic challenges, with the government prioritizing stability and continuity during the transition.
