Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Landslide victories in the Kyrgyz election and referendum held on 10 January 2021 give President-elect Sadyr Japarov a strong mandate to change the foundations of Kyrgyzstan’s constitutional order. The election was held after former president Sooronbay Jeenbekov was forced from power in the crisis following the rigged parliamentary elections on 4 October 2020.
