The CEC, after hearing the information, decided to early terminate the powers of Omurbek Tekebayev. However, the vacant deputy mandate will not be handed over to another candidate on the list from Ata Meken party.
Earlier it was reported that the former chairman of the Accounts Chamber Iskender Gaypkulov should come in the Parliament instead of Tekebayev.
