Project In Brief

In April 2010, the Kyrgyz Republic transitioned from a presidential to a parliamentary system of governance. While adjusting to this new system, Kyrgyzstan is working to reverse a decades-long trend of election mismanagement and abuse of power by making elections competitive and improving the legitimacy and appeal of the process to citizens.
