Government formation
On November 11, 2010, President Otunbayeva commissioned the Social Democratic Party to form a government. On November 29, 2010, Social Democrats agreed on a three-party coalition with Ata Meken and the Respublika party. But after Tekebayev's election as chairman of parliament failed on December 2, 2010, the coalition fell apart again. President Otunbayeva then commissioned the Respublika party to find a majority coalition. A three-party coalition was formed between the Social Democrats, the Respublika and the Ata-Shurt party, with Akhmatbek Keldibekow , the party leader of Ata-Shurt, as parliamentary president and the SDPK chairman Atambayev as head of government. Atambayev took office for the second time after 2007, when his reign lasted only eight months. The Atambayev government replaced the transitional government set up in April 2010 under President Otunbayeva . Kyrgyzstan also completed the transition from a presidential republic to a parliamentary republic, which was brought about by the constitutional referendum of June 2010 .
