Abylgaziyev was the acting Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan from 22 August to 26 August 2017. He was appointed following Sooronbay Jeenbekov's resignation to contest the October 2017 presidential election. Abulgaziyev previously served as Deputy Prime Minister.[3][4] On 20 April 2018 he was reappointed Prime Minister by President Sooronbay Jeenbekov, after Prime Minister Sapar Isakov's government was sacked.[1] On 25 April the new government was sworn in.[5]

During his term, Abylgaziyev met frequently with other heads of government, including with Kazakh Prime Minister Bakhytzhan Sagintayev, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

On 15 June 2020, Abylgaziev resigned from his post as Prime Minister in connection with criminal allegations against the government on the extension and renewal of radio frequency resources, though Abylgaziyev denied any wrongdoing.[2]
