The Kyrgyz parliament elected Omurbek Babanov as Prime Minister and approved the new staff of the government at an extraordinary meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh on Friday, KirTAG reported.

The Article 87 of the Constitution was violated while forming the government, leader of the "Ata-Jurt" faction Kamchibek Tashiev said.
