The People's Movement of Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz: Кыргызстан элдик кыймылы;[1] Russian: Народное движение Кыргызстана) was an electoral alliance formed on 22 September 2004 in Kyrgyzstan, consisting of nine parties.[2][3] The parties were mainly left-wing and center-left, and mainly opposition parties.[3][4] Former prime minister and then-MP Kurmanbek Bakiyev was elected as the movement's chairman on 5 November 2004.[5] The People's Movement of Kyrgyzstan was created to contest the 2005 Kyrgyz parliamentary election.

The movement consisted of the following nine members at formation:[2]

The People's Movement was "the main organizational tool of the authors" of the Tulip Revolution in March–April 2005 that overthrew president Askar Akayev.[4] On 25 March 2005, the Parliament of Kyrgyzstan elected Bakiyev as acting president and prime minister.[6] Shortly before the 2005 Kyrgyz presidential election, some parties (such as the Democratic Movement of Kyrgyzstan) left the alliance to participate independently.[4] Following Bakiyev's election as President on 10 July 2005,[7] he resigned as chairman of the movement.[citation needed] On 23 July 2005, at its fifth congress, the People's Movement was transformed into the socio-political movement "Kyrgyzstan".[4] The leadership of this new organization was critical of Bakiyev since his election, notably because of his failure to quickly pass key reforms.[8] It also passed a resolution on 24 December 2005 calling for the President to move towards adopting a new constitution.[8] On 26 March 2007, the People's Movement reportedly resumed its activity.[9]
