Democratic Movement of Kyrgyzstan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Democratic Movement of Kyrgyzstan is a political party currently active in Kyrgyzstan. The party's current Chairman is Jypar Jeksheev, who is also the founder of the movement. The party was founded on June 27, 1993 with Jeksheev as Chairman until 2000 when he was succeeded by Edilbek Sarybaev.

In 2000 the movement joined with the supporters of the barred Ar-Namys (Dignity) Party of former Prime Minister Felix Kulov to form an electoral alliance to contest the parliamentary elections. The alliance collapsed when the Ar-Namys Party was registered.

The party's platform calls for democratic social development and formation of a politically and economically competent personality. In 2004 the movement joined the People's Movement of Kyrgyzstan electoral alliance.
