After October 4 elections, which pronounced two establishment parties victorious, protests broke out across the country.
Russia has referred to the situation as a mess and chaotic.
One of the two establishment parties have close contact with Jeenbekov. To counter protests, Jeenbekov had announced a state of emergency, and also deployed troops in the capital - Bishkek.
However, the government remains toppled. The president has claimed that he was ready to resign after naming the new prime minister.
Last week, the country’s parliament voted to name Zhaparov as the PM after he was freed from prison during the unrest.
However, his appointment needs confirmation from Jeenbekov.
