Sadir Jafarov submitted an application for candidacy for the presidency of Kyrgyzstan.
President Sedir Jafarov appealed to the CEC to propose his candidacy for the position of head of state.
He intends to participate in the elections as a self-nomination.
Sadir Jafarov was elected president for the first time in the primary elections on January 10, 2021, winning 79.2 percent of the vote. He took office on January 28 of that year.
According to the constitution that was in force at the time of his election, the term of office was six years. The new constitution adopted in 2021 stipulates a five-year term and the possibility of serving in the presidency for no more than two terms.
The Constitutional Court confirmed that Jafarov's six-year term is considered the first. Therefore, in the upcoming elections he is seeking a second term of five years.
