A presidential election was held in Kyrgyzstan on 23 July 2009. The date was set after the constitutional court ruled that the extension of the presidential term from four to five years did not apply until the next presidential election calling for elections by 25 October 2009; in response a parliament committee proposed the July election date which was then passed by the incumbent president Kurmanbek Bakiyev’s Ak Jol-dominated parliament.
