Tekebaev was a leading opposition political figure under the Government of Askar Akayev, who led the Kyrgyz Republic from the day the Kyrgyz Republic gained sovereignty in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR. Tekebaev three times participated in the presidential election as a candidate in 1995, 2000 and in 2017. In 2000, he formed a bloc with Felix Kulov and lost the election to Akayev, gaining 14%; however, opposition leaders accused the authorities of rigging the election.
On March 27, 2005, Tekebaev became Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh after the 2005 parliamentary elections. As a result of the riots that followed, Akayev was forced to flee the country and power passed into the hands of the Provisional Government, headed by President Kurmanbek Bakiev (see: Tulip Revolution [1] ).
Tekebaev played a serious stabilizing role during the troubled times of transition due to his constitutional role as head of parliament, and also because Akayev refused to recognize Bakiyev’s legitimacy as acting president and recognized Tekebayev’s legitimacy as Speaker of Parliament and expressed readiness to negotiate directly with him. Negotiations yielded no results, and Bakiyev was elected president in July 2005 after winning the election.
Tekebaev announced the resignation of the Speaker of Parliament after a political conflict with President Bakiyev in February 2006.
In September 2006, heroin was found in the luggage of Tekebayev flying to Poland. The incident was recognized by the Kyrgyz public and the international community as an attempt by the Bakiyev regime to fabricate charges against Tekebayev.
As co-chairman of the For Reforms movement, he played a key role in organizing widespread political protests against former President Kurmanbek Bakiev in November 2006 and April 2007.
In 2016, he opposed President Atambayev’s plans to amend the Constitution and hold a referendum, calling them attempts to usurp power.
In 2016-2017, together with like-minded people and civic activists, he conducted wide public campaigns to counter the attempts of the Atambayev regime to amend the Constitution and hold a referendum in violation of the moratorium in force until 2020.
On February 25, 2016 criminal proceedings were instituted against Tekebaev under Art. 166 (Fraud) and 303 (Corruption). The victim and the main witness for the prosecution was a citizen of the Russian Federation, a Russian businessman Leonid Mayevsky [2] . In the Russian media and Internet resources [3], the name of the former State Duma deputy Leonid Mayevsky is found mainly in connection with scandalous litigation .
On June 8, 2017, a trial of Tekebaev and Chotonov under Article 303 (Corruption) began in the Pervomaisky District Court of Bishkek [4] . Judge Ernis uulu Aybek [5] has been appointed the presiding judge.
Kyrgyz and international media reported on the process with wide coverage of multiple violations by the investigating, supervisory and judicial authorities and was declared politically motivated by civic activists, human rights activists and public figures.
