Kyrgyzstan Materials 12 July 2010 17:44 (UTC +04:00)

Deputy Prime Minister of the interim Kyrgyz government Omurbek Tekebayev resigned on Monday to prepare for the forthcoming parliamentary elections, Xinhua reported.
  
As the new constitution was passed in a national referendum last month, the interim government would be dissolved, allowing party leaders to prepare for the parliamentary elections slated for October.
  
Tekebayev, who heads the Ata-Meken party, said earlier that he would step down as the deputy prime minister no matter when the elections would be held.
  
The three-party interim government was made of the Ata-Meken, headed by Tekebayev, the Social Democratic Party led by Almaz Atambayev and the Ak-Shumkar party led by Temir Sariyev.
