Kyrgyz President Removes Prime Minister from Office

Kyrgyzstan’s President Sadyr Japarov has dismissed Prime Minister Akylbek Japarov from his position. The decision, announced through an official statement on the presidential website, attributed the dismissal to the prime minister’s reassignment to a new role within the government.

Akylbek Japarov had held the office of prime minister since 2021, overseeing key initiatives during a challenging period for Kyrgyzstan’s political and economic stability.

In the interim, Adylbek Kasymaliyev, who previously served as the first deputy prime minister, has been appointed as acting prime minister, signaling a continuation of governance amid the reshuffle.

The Kyrgyz administration has yet to disclose the specifics of Akylbek Japarov’s new assignment, leaving analysts speculating about potential shifts in policy or government priorities. This leadership change is expected to influence both domestic policies and the nation’s engagement on the regional stage.
