Bektibek Kalamtov became the seventh candidate for the post of President of Kyrgyzstan.
Sadir Jafarov received 48,000 votes of support in less than 24 hours, against the norm of 30,000.
Syymyk Zhapykeev collected more than 18.9 thousand signatures, Ayman Kasanov about 15.9 thousand, Ishak Mesaliyev 11 thousand, Azamat Asenkovkov 8.6 thousand, Akai Kidirov 5.1 thousand.
Even if the more famous candidates who started their campaigns earlier have results that are far from the mark, then Kalmatov, who submitted his documents a few days before the deadline, has almost no time left to collect signatures.
Formally he manages to submit documents, but physically collect 30 thousand signatures within a few days, a task from the field of probability theory.
The appearance of the seventh candidate is a sign that the procedure is officially open to all.
But the numbers show something else. The threshold of 30 thousand signatures remains a filter that cuts off those who do not have resources, a network of activists and time.
Kalmatov entered the race too late to seriously rely on the ticket. But just to promote yourself, job done.
