Ata-Zhurt (Kyrgyz: Ата-журтlit.'Fatherland', sometimes romanized as Ata-Jurt) is a political party in Kyrgyzstan. Its political base is in the south of the country, but the party is headquartered in the capital, Bishkek. In 2014, it merged with the Respublika party to create Respublika–Ata Zhurt,[3] but the two parties ended up splitting again four months before the parliamentary elections of 2020,[4] in which Ata-Zhurt instead formed a joint list with Mekenim Kyrgyzstan. After the results of that vote were annulled, Ata-Zhurt contested the 2021 elections independently and came in first with 19% of the vote. The party is led by Kamchybek Tashiyev,[5] and has previously supported the ousted former President Kurmanbek Bakiyev.
