[edit] Were we wrong?

According to this article [1], Kadyrbekov is actually only the parliament speaker, despite initial reports. Kurmanbek Bakiev is the new president. --Jfruh 14:07, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hmm. The front page report on Wikipedia at this point of time says "Parliament appoints Ishinbai Kadyrbekov as interim president", whereas the Associated Press [2] and the BBC aforementioned agree that this post is held by Kurmanbek Bakiyev. The phrase "He was first considered for president after a revolution ousted former president Askar Akayev on 24 March 2005, but Kurmanbek Bakiyev took the power and gave the portfolio to Kadyrbekov." really needs to say who considered him for president and what authority Mr Bakiyev had to make himself president and when my landlords are going to empty the electricity meter, because it's starting to fill up with pound coins. 'Took' is a loaded word, too.-Ashley Pomeroy 16:15, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I am seeing reports (example [3]) that Kadyrbekov was appointed interim president late 24 March, but that Bakiev was then appointed 25 March. So K. was only president for a few hours. I guess we'll have to wait till the dust settles to figure it out. --Cam 06:27, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

Hey guys, I think there has been some confusion. Basically I think the speaker, Kadyrbekov took on the powers of president, whilst the position was empty. If you read the President of Kyrgyzstan page you will see that in the case of the head of state leaving office, the P.M becomes leader. However as Tanayev had resigned there was no successor to either post.

The nature of this revolution means that in reality Kadyrbekov had no right, constitutionally, to take over these powers, but probably did so to fill a power vaccum.
