Previously, he expressed a desire to participate in the elections for the Jogorku Kenesh. Shortly after that, a photograph appeared on the internet showing him with Kamchy Kolbaev, who has been mentioned as the leader of an organized crime group.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs detained Kudret Taichabarov.
After this, the Central Election Commission denied Taichabarov's registration as a candidate for the elections, which is also related to the resonance surrounding the aforementioned photograph.
In response, Taichabarov released a video address in which he mentioned President Sadyr Japarov.
