Myktybek Yusupovich Abdyldayev (; born 17 August 1953) is a Kyrgyzstani political figure currently serving as a member of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan representing the Bir Bol faction.
Early life and education
Born on 17 August 1953 in Kara-Jygach, located in Chuy Oblast of the former Kirgiz SSR—now known as Kyrgyzstan—Abdyldayev completed his higher education in 1976, obtaining a degree in philology from Kyrgyz State National University.
Komsomol and civil service from 1976 to 1990
Starting his professional journey in 1976, Abdyldayev worked as a turner at a factory in Frunze. After five years, he transitioned into secretarial positions within Komsomol committees, initially at the Technical College of Soviet Trade in Frunze and subsequently in Issyk-Kul Oblast between 1982 and 1983.
He then advanced to lead the political department within Issyk-Kul Oblast's Department of Internal Affairs from 1983 until 1986. Following his completion of management training at the Academy of Management under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, he was appointed deputy head of the internal affairs department in 1989.
His last Soviet-era appointment was as a deputy in the Supreme Soviet of the Kirghiz SSR after the 1990 elections, with varying accounts regarding whether his tenure ended in 1991 or extended until the parliamentary elections in 1995.
Roles in internal affairs between 1991 and 2001
With Kyrgyzstan's independence declared in 1991 during Askar Akayev's presidency, Abdyldayev assumed leadership of Issyk-Kul's internal affairs department from 1991 to 1994. Subsequently, from November 1994, he served as Deputy Minister at the national Ministry of Internal Affairs, earning promotion to First Deputy Minister by March 1997, a position he maintained until January 2001.
Service during Akayev and Bakiyev administrations, 2001–2010
In February 2001, Abdyldayev was appointed Deputy Secretary of Kyrgyzstan's Security Council and concurrently directed the International Institute for Strategic Studies under the presidential office. The following year, he took charge of the Department for Defense and Security Affairs within the Presidential Administration and was also named Prosecutor General. However, President Akayev dismissed him in March 2005 due to perceived ineffective management of protests linked to the Tulip Revolution.
Afterward, he briefly resumed duties as Acting Deputy Minister for Internal Affairs during March 2005 post-revolution. Under President Kurmanbek Bakiyev's leadership, Abdyldayev headed the Presidential Administration starting May 2006 but resigned in April 2007 amid demonstrations calling for new presidential elections.
Parliamentary career since 2010
Post-2010 Kyrgyz revolution, Abdyldayev secured election as a deputy representing the Ata-Zhurt party during the 2010 parliamentary polls. He led this faction from November 2012 through April 2014. In 2015, he aligned himself with the Bir Bol party.
Notably, in April 2011, he took part in a ritual involving the sacrifice of rams near the Jogorku Kenesh premises, aimed at ensuring uninterrupted legislative proceedings.
Abdyldayev is married and has two children.
