Leader of the pro-interim government Social-Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan (SDPK), Almazbek Atambayev, confirmed Thursday that his party was currently negotiating to form a ruling coalition with two other parties.

"The Social-Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan (SDPK) has held negotiations with the parties Respublika and Ata-Meken on building a parliamentary coalition," Atambayev told a press conference.

"Full agreement on all strategic issues has been achieved with Respublika, and we would like Ata-Meken to be the third," the former prime minister and former deputy leader of the interim government said.

"However, some issues have emerged, which have not yet been settled," he said, specifying that disagreements occurred between the opposition Respublika party and the pro-interim government Ata-Meken.

An SDPK spokesman earlier announced his party had agreed to form a coalition with the Respublika party led by Omurbek Babanov, a former parliamentary deputy and entrepreneur.

If the three parties can reach an agreement, their 67 seats in the new parliament would be enough to form the ruling coalition.

Atambayev, meanwhile, did not rule out the possibility that a coalition may comprise members from all five parties that had won representation in the Oct. 10 parliamentary elections.

"There can be any kind of coalition, but what is important is that it should be active and stable, so as to form a strong government capable of overcoming the crisis," he said.

According to Kyrgyzstan's constitution, the five parties have three opportunities and 45 working days to form a ruling parliamentary coalition.

Should they fail to do so, acting Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbayeva has the right to dissolve the parliament.

Kyrgyzstan became Central Asia's first parliamentary democracy in a referendum earlier this year, after violence in the country's south in June left more than 200 people dead.

Under new rules, the parliament will pick a prime minister and play a key role in forming the government. It will be the country's main decision-making body, assuming more power than the president.
