On May 5, 1993 at the XII session the Supreme Council of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan adopted the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic. From that moment, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan became the Kyrgyz Republic, and the Constitution of the Kyrgyz SSR, adopted in 1978, lost its force.
Since the adoption of the Constitution, several changes and additions have been made, radically edited four times (February 2003, November 2006, December 2006, October 2007).
On September 14, 2007, the Constitutional Court of the Kyrgyz Republic repealed the November and December editions of the Constitution. The Constitution of 18 February 2003 came into force again.
And on October 21, 2007, according to the Decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, a nationwide referendum was held, at which a new version of the Constitution proposed by President of the Kyrgyz Republic K. Bakiyev was adopted, which was signed by him on October 23, 2007. The new draft law on introducing amendments and additions to the Constitution of Kyrgyzstan came into force the next day - October 24, 2007, from the moment of publication in the official publication of the country - the newspaper "Erkin-Too".
