Factions and Secretariats of Factions in the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic

The study was conducted by Tian Shan Policy Center of the American University of Central Asia, AUCA expert Medet Tuilegenov and independent parliamentary experts Gulmira Mamatkerimova, Kurmanbek Turdaliev and Akylbek Sarbagyshov in the framework of the programme "Strengthening the effectiveness of the political factions in Kyrgyzstan" implemented by the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Additionally, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan assisted in conducting legal analysis for this research.

The main focus of this research is the activity of factions and their secretariats in the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic. The importance of this subject is emphasized by the important role that factions play in the work of the modern Parliament, as well as their influence on the political processes in Kyrgyzstan. Within a short period of the development of Parliament, factions have proven that they can be an effective institution within Parliament, contributing to the efficiency of its activities. However, the uncoordinated work of factions has become one of the main causes of the difficulties that Parliament is currently facing in performing its basic functions.
