Birimdik (lit. 'Unity'; Kyrgyz: Биримдик) officially the Party of Democratic Socialism—Eurasian Choice "Birimdik" (Kyrgyz: «Биримдик» демократиялык социализм – евразиялык тандоо партиясы; Russian: Партия демократического социализма — евразийский выбор «Биримдик») is a pro-Jeenbekov[3] political party in Kyrgyzstan,[4] founded in 2005 as the Birimdik Democratic Party (Kyrgyz: «Биримдик» демократиялык партиясы; Russian: Демократическая партия «Биримдик»).[5] On May 8, 2013 it was registered with the current name.[6] The party includes many former officials and deputies.[7]

The political ideology of the party is Eurasianism, socialism, democracy and parliamentarism.[8]

As of 2019, despite labeling itself as a democratic socialist party, Unity is in effect a successor to the SDPK, a centre-left social-democratic party with some centrist tendencies.

The party has territorial subdivisions in all regions of Kyrgyzstan, there are governing bodies of the party, such as: the political council, the executive committee and the audit commission.[6]

2020 Parliamentary elections

Closer to the parliamentary elections of 2020, its leaders began to leave the old party of power in Kyrgyzstan - SDPK and move into the ranks of Birimdik.[9]

Kyrgyz political scientists gave the greatest chances to get into parliament specifically to Birimdik, as well as to the Mekenim Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bir Bol, Ata-Meken and others. The brother of the President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbay Jeenbekov, Asylbek Jêênbekov, was nominated from the party to parliament.[10]

In early September, a video was published in which the candidate from Birimdik promises voters half a million soms and asks for 300 votes.[11]

According to a sociological survey by the "Common Cause" Foundation, the party took 2nd place in the country in terms of rating with a score of 2% of the vote. Among all respondents, 58% of respondents found it difficult to answer, 14% were going to vote against all.[12]

The party entered the top six parties with the highest election costs, along with the following organizations: Mekenim Kyrgyzstan, Bir Bol, Kyrgyzstan, Ata-Meken and Zamandash.[13]

The party's list included 200 people, the first was Akylbek Zhamangulov, a deputy of Jogorku Kenesh of the VI convocation, elected from the Respublika–Ata Zhurt party, the second was Ulukbek Kochkorov, a deputy of parliament of the V convocation, and the third was a deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh of the VI convocation on the list of SDPK Torobay Zulpukarov.[14] 70% of candidates were men (140 people) and 30% women (60 people).[15]

According to the announced results of the parliamentary election (99% of ballots were processed), Birimdik won 24.90% of the votes,[16] after which rallies of supporters of parties that did not enter the country's parliament began in the country.[17] A party spokesman said that Birimdik is ready to take part in the repeat parliamentary elections.[18]

According to the "Common Cause" Foundation, 75 cases of bribery of voters by the Birimdik party were recorded.[11]

Aftermath

On October 6, in the city of Osh, a rally of party supporters was held, the participants of which were against the overthrow of Sooronbay Jeenbekov.[19]

In December 2020, the leader of the party Marat Amankulov left the Birimdik.[20]

The party did not participate in the 2021 parliamentary election. Former members of the party joined other parties to run in the election.[21]
