On the other hand, Tolganay Stamaliyeva, press spokesman for the Presidency, reported that President Sooronbay Ceenbekov was in Bishkek.

While some of the protesters were still housed in the Presidential Palace, others were heading towards Ala-Too Square and the prison where political prisoners were housed.
Protesters in Ala-Too Square made announcements over loudspeakers saying “We took the Presidential Palace” and “Almazbek Atambayev and Sadır Caparov must be released.”
Protesting the results of the parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan, protesters removed former President Almazbek Atambayev from the prison they were occupying.
Atambayev, who was pulled out of the crowd and into a car, is expected to address thousands of fans waiting for him in Ala Too Square.
Dissatisfied with the results of the elections held in Kyrgyzstan on Sunday, October 4, 12 political parties occupied the Presidency and the Parliament building after their demonstration.

While all these events were taking place, President Sooronbay Ceenbekov, Prime Minister Kubatbek Boronov and Speaker of Parliament Dastanbek Cumabekov have not yet made any statements.
POLICE INTERVENED
In Kyrgyzstan, the police intervened with supporters of political parties who protested the election results.
Party leaders, members and voters, who reportedly missed the threshold in yesterday’s parliamentary elections, protested in Ala-Too Square in the capital Bishkek to protest the results.
More than 5,000 people attended the show that started at noon.
As speeches continued in the square, a group of protesters marched towards the Presidential Palace shouting slogans and then forced the iron bars in front of the palace.
The police then used water cannons and tear gas to drive away the crowd.
The protesters responded by throwing stones at the police and setting garbage containers on fire. Tension between the police and protesters still continues on the back streets, causing damage to many vehicles.
Although the security forces take strict security measures in the place where the Presidential Palace is located, they do not allow journalists to enter the area.
On the other hand, in the statement made by the Presidential Press Center, it was reported that President Sooronbay Ceenbekov plans to accept the leaders of 16 political parties that entered the elections tomorrow, October 4.
Political parties that claim that the parliamentary elections were not held fairly demand the cancellation of the elections.
According to data from the Central Electoral Commission, 12 of the 16 parties that entered the elections could not pass the threshold.
