Kyrgyzstan Acting President Eyes Long Term Post
According to reports, Kyrgyzstan's acting President Sadyr Japarov wishes to contest for the country's presidential post provided a constitutional amendment is possible. At present, the country's framework does not allow the acting president to run for elections. Reportedly, as an acting president, he is expected to bring a referendum and conduct the elections before January 2021. Earlier, Sooronbai Jeenbekov’s elected government had been ousted by protestors.
