A fourth candidate for the presidency of Kyrgyzstan emerged A fourth contender appeared in the race for the presidency of Kyrgyzstan - Akai Kidirov, an entrepreneur and expert in international logistics. But his political background is still modest. In the 2025 parliamentary elections, he received 275 votes (0.65%). This is not so much a "sensation" as a signal - the list of candidates continues to grow, and new names may appear before November 12.
Before him, applications were submitted by Ayman Kasanov, Azamat Asenkov and Seimik Zhapikaev. The receipt of documents ends on November 12 at 24:00.
Four candidates is not yet a competitive battle, but only the beginning of the list. Kidirov is still not a recognized public figure; His previous experience in elections is less than one percent of the votes, but he has ambitions, which is not bad. We'll see how his campaign pans out if he gets there.
