Sadyr Zhaparov sworn in as Kyrgyz president

(28 Jan 2021) Sadyr Zhaparov was sworn in as the new President of Kyrgyzstan on Thursday. His inauguration took place at the Kyrgyz National Philharmonic palace in Bishkek. Zhaparov won the presidency with 79% of the vote during a snap election in January after being freed from jail by throngs of protesters. He vowed to serve his country and protect the ''unity and integrity'' of people. Zhaparov had been sentenced to eleven and a half years in prison on charges of abducting a regional governor amid a dispute over a gold mine, when he was freed by demonstrators who contested the results of October's parliamentary election. Immediately after his release, Zhaparov mobilised supporters to evict former President Sooronbai Jeenbekov from office and took the helm as the nation's interim leader. He renounced the position shortly after to be able to run for president as required by law. Kyrgyzstan, which is a member of Russia-dominated economic and security alliances, hosts a Russian airbase and depends on Moscow's economic support.
