Seventy-four delegates attended the meeting. They heard a report from the previous head of the Federation, Ramis Zhunusaliev, and unanimously accepted his resignation.

Akylbek Eshimov was previously a member of the Zhogorku Kenesh (2011-2015), then headed the National Alysh Kurosh Wrestling Federation (2015-2022). In recent years, he headed the Kara-Suu Kok-Boru Federation.

Ramis Zhunusaliev was arrested last December on suspicion of fraud. The investigation into this case is ongoing.
