Kyrgyzstan is preparing to hold snap parliamentary elections on Sunday, 30 November 2025, after the Jogorku Kenesh (parliament) dissolved itself in September.
The decision to hold an early vote is intended to avoid overlapping parliamentary and presidential elections next year.
The election was brought forward was after President Japarov formally requested the dissolution of parliament, arguing that holding two national votes within a short interval with each other would create significant financial and organisational burdens.
The Parliamentary elections were originally slated for November 2026 while the presidential election was slated for January 2027.
The Central Election Commission reports that nearly 200 candidates have been registered, with over 4 million eligible voters on the national list.
Posters, candidate tents and street-level campaigning have been visible across Bishkek and other cities, marking the final days of a shortened pre-election period.
Analysts suggest that the pro-government Ata-Jurt Kyrgyzstan party remains the leading contender and could secure a substantial majority in the Jogorku Kenesh.
The Kyrgyzstani Jogorku Kenesh or parliament is a unicameral legislature of 90 members with a five-year term.
The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) has deployed an election observation mission to monitor preparations, the legal framework, campaigning conditions and election-day procedures. Their mission will release preliminary findings shortly after the vote.
The Presidential election which is scheduled for January 2027 is expected to proceed as planned.
