BISHKEK, March 24 (RIA Novosti) - Kyrgyzstan's Legislative Assembly appointed Ishenbai Kadyrbekov acting President, said parliamentarian Kabai Karabekov, as he was commenting a limited-attendance parliamentary session for Novosti.
As the Constitution has it, the parliament Speaker de facto assumes the duties of head of state when the President or the Cabinet are absent, he explained.
"Parliament has elected its new Speaker. That is Ishenbai Kadyrbekov. He will thus become acting president."
The opposition-established Coordination Council of Popular Unity will assume the duties of a provisional government, determined the session.
