In Kyrgyzstan, which became independent in 1991, the first two freely elected presidents had to resign as a result of massive protests. The first peaceful change of government had to wait until 2017, when the current president, Sooronbay Jejubekov, who was in office until 2023, replaced Almazbek Atambayev. In the current elections, according to official results, it was mainly parties close to Jekejbekov that entered the parliament.
