CIS Member State The Constitution of Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz: Кыргыз Республикасынын Конституциясы; Russian: Конституция Кыргызской Республики) is the supreme law of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Kyrgyzstan first got a constitution in 1993, a year and a half after the country had gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
The Constitution of Kyrgyzstan was the supreme law of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Dubbed the "khanstitution" due to its concentration of power in the presidency,[2] it reintroduced a strong president to the country, reducing the power of the legislative branch.
Will Partlett describes the new constitution as making structural changes that "move Kyrgyzstan away from a checks-and-balances system of semi-presidentialism toward a form of presidentialism that is close to the authoritarian-style 'crown-presidentialism' in the post-Soviet Eurasian space.
