The current instability has occurred after election victory was handed two parties one of which was close to President Jeenbekov as other parties refused to accept the results.
One person has been killed and several hundred injured since clashes broke out this week.
President Sooronbay Jeenbekov is largely seen to be pro-Russian, even though authorities have annulled election results. Sadyr Japarov, 51, from the Mekenchil political party was declared the acting prime minister in parliament session hosted in a hotel after the parliament building was seized by protesters during the unrest.
However, other political parties have refused to recognise Sunday's vote have said they do not recognise his election.
