Until 2010, the
president was in a stronger position than the prime minister in Kyrgyzstan, but after the
2010 constitutional referendum, the state transitioned to a
parliamentary system, placing greater power in parliament and the cabinet at the expense of the president. This was reverted in 2021 after the
Kyrgyz constitutional referendum, with the president once again reinstated as the chief executive and the renamed prime minister demoted to being
senior-most of the president's advisors. == History of the office ==
