At an extraordinary meeting on October 24, the deputies of the city council unanimously supported the initiative to elevate the city's status.
The next step will be to formalize the initiative into a draft law, which will be considered by the Jogorku Kenesh. If the draft law is approved, it will be sent to the president for signing.
It is important to note that currently, only two cities in Kyrgyzstan have the status of republican significance — Bishkek and Osh.
We remind you that on September 3, the deputies of the city council approved the proposal of Mayor Ernisbek Ormokov to rename Jalal-Abad to Manas. On September 5, the project was published on a platform for public discussion, and on September 9, the relevant committee of the Jogorku Kenesh approved it in three readings. The next day, the parliament passed the law, and a week later it was signed by the president of the country.
