Mekenim Kyrgyzstan (lit. 'My Homeland Kyrgyzstan'; Kyrgyz: Мекеним Кыргызстан) is a centre-right political party in Kyrgyzstan which was founded in 2015. In August 2020, Ata-Zhurt announced it would be running on a joint list with the party for the upcoming elections. The party is viewed as supportive of Kyrgyz President Sooronbay Jeenbekov.[1]
The party is considered to have been created and financed by the powerful Maitraimov family, especially Rayimbek Matraimov. Matraimov has been involved in numerous corruption cases concerning his service in the State Customs Service of Kyrgyzstan and is alleged to have financial links to President Jeenbekov. One of the candidates in the election is Raimbek's brother and current MP Iskender Matraimov. Other members include former Bishkek Deputy Mayor Mirlan Amanturov and Deputy Speaker of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan, Mirlan Bakirov.[2][3]
