Tynchtyk Shainazarov, the chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Kyrgyz Republic, explained to journalists the decision that the repeat elections in district No. 13 will not take place and confirmed the voting results from November 30.

He noted that the decision was based on materials from a criminal case provided by the Internal Affairs Department of the Jalal-Abad region, in which the police finally identified the individuals who violated electoral legislation. Although violations were recorded on December 3, 2025, the police were unable to identify the culprits at that time, which led to the annulment of the election results. As a result, 13 candidates had no violations, and the CEC declared them the winners.

The violations were related to the actions of the authorized representatives of Bakyt Sydykov.

Shainazarov also commented that the decision to cancel the elections on March 1 was appealed by candidate Kanybek Bazarbaev in the Administrative Court of Bishkek. The court upheld the initial decision of the Central Election Commission from February 13. This decision can be appealed to the Supreme Court, and if the court maintains it, the candidates will receive their certificates and deputy badges of the Jogorku Kenesh.

As for the current candidates, the CEC received 7 million soms as electoral contributions, which they intend to return to all candidates.

Let us remind you that on November 30, 2025, extraordinary elections were held for the Jogorku Kenesh. On December 3, 2025, the CEC annulled the registration of 14 candidates in district No. 13 due to violations related to the installation of surveillance cameras, which violated the secrecy of voting.

Repeat elections were scheduled for March 1, 2026, and 23 candidates registered. However, on February 13, the Central Commission for Elections and Referendums reviewed its previous decision and recognized the elections as having taken place, thereby canceling the previous resolution. As a result, the deputies became Aibek Altynbekov, Talant Mamytov, and Aigul Karabekova. After that, [url=the CEC was sued[/url] regarding the cancellation of the repeat elections in district No. 13.
