Sooronbay Jeenbekov will leave the post of the Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan after registration by the Central Election Commission. The day before, the political council of SDPK recommended him as a single candidate for the presidential election 2017.
As the member of the Central Election Commission Kairat Osmonaliev explained to 24.kg news agency, according to the procedure and according to the law, Sooronbay Jeenbekov, if the Social Democrats support his candidacy at the congress, must resign after registration by CEC.
