Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations his Department has made to the Government of Kyrgyzstan on the case of Klara Kabilova, the chairwoman of Kyrgyzstan's Central Election Commission.

​We are aware of reports concerning the citizenship and eligibility of Klara Kabilova to sit as an MP in Kyrgyzstan. We have not made representations about this specific case but our Embassy in Bishkek has regular meetings with the Kyrgyz government at all levels and routinely discusses issues of mutual interest, including progress on democratisation, fundamental values and human rights.
