Following the large-scale 2020 Kyrgyzstani protests which resulted in annulation of the October parliamentary election results as well as resignation of President Sooronbay Jeenbekov, the Central Election Commission (CEC) head Nurjan Shyldabekova on 16 October 2020 announced that the re-election for the MP's could be held on 20 December, to which it was then scheduled on 21 October at the CEC meeting. However, just a day later on 22 October, the Supreme Council voted on a bill postponing the snap parliamentary elections and it would be held no later than 1 June 2021, after new amendments to the Constitution would be adopted.
