Ata-Menken Socialist Party

Ata-Menken Socialist Party

Ata-Meken (Fatherland) Socialist Party is a political party in Kyrgyzstan. Its current Chairman and founder is Omurbek Tekebayev, who is former speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament. The party was registered on December 16, 1992 following a split between Tekebayev and the conservative Erkin Kyrgyzstan party.

The party's platform calls for a democratic state, economic reforms and evolutionary social development. It favours reasonable compromise between various social sectors and government bodies. The party supported Tekebayev in the 2000 Presidential elections, where he came second with 14%. On May, 20, 2004 the party joined the For Fair Elections electoral alliance in preparing for the February 2005 parliamentary elections.

The party won one seat in the first round of the 2005 parliamentary elections. However following the 2005 Tulip Revolution the future of the party remains unclear.
