Torobayev in 2016
... that Kyrgyz politician Bakyt Torobayev stood as candidate for speaker for the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan in 2016 along with Kanat Isayev, and neither received the required votes to become speaker?Source: "Two candidates -- Kanat Isaev of the Kyrgyzstan party and Bakyt Torobaev of the Onuguu-Progress party -- received 51 votes each in the April 20 vote. At least 61 votes are needed to be elected speaker in the 120-seat parliament." [1]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not understand how it is hooky. It sounds like it was a majority vote. Yoninah (talk) 21:32, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

... that Kyrgyzstan presidential candidate Bakyt Torobayev used to construct filling stations?--Usernameunique (talk) 02:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

- ALT2 I vote for. To me the original seemed fine, on the basis that nobody managed to actually win the election. But alright, there is such a thing as a hung parliament! I wouldn't go for ALT3 at all, the Jorogu Kenesh source doesn't particularly document what role he had in the construction of filling stations. ALT3 suggests that he was there, at the plant, being part of the team that built it. The ref neither confirms nor denies this. Maybe he was site manager or whatever. 81.106.34.193 (talk) 17:15, 19 September 2017 (UTC) (User:My name is not dave, who has restricted himself from excessive editing, and thus is editing as an IP 'til October 21st.)
