After a one-month delay, the newly elected Kyrgyz parliament will sit for its first session on November 10, Kyrgyz news agencies reported.
Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbayeva is expected to address the new Jogorku Kenesh and to ask one of the five parties represented in the parliament to form a coalition.
Traditionally, the oldest deputy member commences the first session of a new parliament. Tomorrow it will be Tashpolot Baltabayev of the Ata Meken Party.
According to Baltabayev, the agenda for the first session includes forming parliamentary blocks, informing deputies of general goals for the fifth convocation of the Jogorku Kenesh, and assigning tasks for specific blocks, as well as negotiating a coalition. Once a coalition is formed, a new speaker of the parliament will be nominated and elected.
