Önügüü–Progress (Kyrgyz: Өнүгүү-Прогресс, lit. 'Development–Progress') is a political party in Kyrgyzstan led by Bakyt Torobayev.[1]
History[]
Önügüü–Progress was formed in 2012 by Torobayev after he left Respublika, and primarily draws its support from southern Kyrgyzstan, where there is a significant Uzbek population.[2] In December 2013 the party merged into it.[3]
In the 2015 parliamentary elections the party received 9.3% of the vote, winning 13 seats in the Supreme Council. However, in October 2017 three of its MPs were expelled from the party, leaving it with 10 seats.[4]
