Zhenishbek Toktorbaev has been relieved of his duties as the mayor of Osh, sources from the editorial office of Kaktus.media report.

According to available information, he left the position of his own accord.

It is worth noting that rumors about his possible resignation began to emerge several days before the official announcement. On February 17, both the presidential administration and the mayor's office stated that Toktorbaev continued to fulfill his duties. The former mayor himself also denied information about his resignation.

Toktorbaev had held the position of mayor since January 23, 2025. Previously, he was a deputy of the VII convocation of the Jogorku Kenesh from the "Ata-Jurt Kyrgyzstan" faction.

During his tenure, Toktorbaev was known for his bright public appearances and unexpected inspections, which were often perceived as self-promotion, as pointed out by former Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu.

In July 2025, Kamchybek Tashiev presented him with a car on behalf of President Sadyr Japarov. During the ceremony, Tashiev noted that the work of the mayor of Osh had been recognized as successful and serves as an example for other public figures, thus making the gift appropriate. He emphasized that the car was intended for the personal use of the mayor.

In September 2025, Sadyr Japarov issued a severe reprimand to Toktorbaev "for improper performance of his duties." The reason was violations of ethical norms, which were regarded as a failure to comply with service discipline.

After Tashiev's resignation, Toktorbaev, speaking with journalists, expressed his readiness to comply with any decisions made by the president.

He noted: "If there is an order: 'Leave now,' I am ready to write a statement and leave the position immediately," said Toktorbaev.

We remind you that on February 10, the President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov signed a decree relieving Kamchybek Tashiev of his duties as Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the State Committee for National Security.

After Tashiev's dismissal, other personnel changes occurred both in the SCNS and in other state institutions.
