Powers
Until 2010, the president was in a stronger position than the prime minister in Kyrgyzstan, but after the 2010 constitutional referendum, the state transitioned to a parliamentary system, placing greater power in parliament and the cabinet at the expense of the president. This was reverted in 2021 after the Kyrgyz constitutional referendum, with the president once again reinstated as the chief executive and the renamed prime minister demoted to being senior-most of the president's advisors.
History of the office
Kubatbek Boronov was the acting prime minister from 16 June 2020, succeeding Mukhammedkalyi Abylgaziev after his resignation due to his cabinet's heavy corruption case.
Following election protests, Boronov resigned and was replaced on 6 October 2020 by opposition party founder Sadyr Japarov and again by Artem Novikov on 14 November 2020 to 3 February 2021.
