It is true that one of the justifications for the postponement of the elections is “to stabilize the socio-political, epidemiological and related economic situation in the country” (See Article 1 of Law of 22 October 2020, para. 9 above). This suggests that there is an – undeclared – situation of emergency in the Kyrgyz Republic. The Venice Commission recalls that it has previously underlined, in the context of states of emergency, that “[i]f the elections are postponed, the legitimacy of the parliament is to some extent limited. Thus, the parliament should abstain from adopting amendments to the constitution, organic laws or other important reforms under political debate which are not necessary to return to the normal situation.
