BISHKEK (TCA) — Today, November 9, the parliament of Kyrgyzstan approved the country’s new Government.
Of 116 MPs present at the parliament session, 112 MPs voted for and four MPs voted against the new Cabinet of Ministers.
Prime Minister Sooronbai Jeenbekov has retained his post, as did most of the Cabinet members.
Jeenbekov’s Cabinet resigned on October 26 after the pro-presidential Social Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan (SDPK) quit the ruling parliamentary coalition because some factions in the Parliament refused to support constitutional amendments proposed by President Almazbek Atambayev.
The new majority coalition includes SDPK, the Kyrgyzstan party, and the Bir Bol (Be United) party.
Three other parliamentary factions — Onuguu-Progress, Ata Meken, and Respublika – Ata-Jurt — have formed the parliamentary opposition.
