The Inauguration of Sooronbay Jeenbekov as the president of Kyrgyzstan took place on November 24, 2017,[1] in the Enesay reception house of the Ala Archa State Residence in Bishkek.[2][3] The inauguration was declared the first peaceful transition of power in Kyrgyzstan in its 26-year history by foreign analyst.
Sooronbai Jeenbekov won the presidential elections in Kyrgyzstan that were held on October 15, 2017, beating his opponent Ömürbek Babanov with at least 54.67% of the national vote. His predecessor Almazbek Atambayev, who was limited by one six-year term as president, backed Jeenbekov very strongly for president.
