Previously, Shailoobek Atazov was denied registration as a candidate for the upcoming elections. The Central Election Commission cited two main reasons: his past "involvement in an organized criminal group" and non-compliance with residency requirements.
Shailoobek Atazov represented constituency No. 29 in the VII convocation of the Jogorku Kenesh. In addition to his political career, he is also known as an athlete involved in boxing and kickboxing, and he headed the sports club "EREM," which had connections with former Deputy Head of the Customs Service Rayimbek Matraimov.
