Sadyr Japarov collects over 50,000 signatures in 24 hours after nomination

President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov, who submitted an application on November 10 for self-nomination for a second term, gathered 50,177 voter signatures within 24 hours. This is 20,177 more than the minimum threshold of 30,000 required for registration as a candidate in the presidential election scheduled for January 27, 2027.

According to data from the state "Signature Collection" system, as of November 11, 50,177 voters expressed support for Japarov. Thus, the number of signatures collected reached 167.3% of the required minimum.

In total, six presidential contenders gathered 110,791 signatures. Japarov is currently the only one who has crossed the established threshold.

How many signatures other contenders gathered

According to the published statistics:

• Sadyr Japarov — 50,177 signatures;
• Syimyk Zhapykeev — 19,152;
• Aimen Kasenov — 16,134;
• Iskhak Masaliev — 11,353;

Surpassing the minimum threshold does not imply automatic registration as a candidate. The Central Election Commission must verify the validity of the signatures, and the contenders must also satisfy other statutory requirements.

The collection of signatures will run through December 8, 2026. Voters can also endorse candidates electronically through the state portal Tunduk. Earlier, Economist.kg published instructions from the CEC on how to submit electronic endorsements for candidates.

As a reminder, on November 10, Sadyr Japarov submitted an application to the Central Election Commission for self-nomination to the presidency.
