Talk:2020 Kyrgyz parliamentary election

Ata-Zhurt

Hi

The party is not listed by the EC. --Panam2014 (talk) 11:36, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I was wondering about this too. By the way, you can get interwiki links to work in {{Election results}} as long as you manually add a colourcode to the row in question (which I've just done). Number 57 12:05, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I double checked and it appears that they still exist and are contesting the election in a coalition with My Homeland Kyrgyzstan, but are running under the latter's name. It's likely that they will form a joint parliamentary group, albeit possibly without the shared name anymore. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 19:17, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

United Kyrgyzstan color

The color used for United Kyrgyzstan is very close to the one used for Ata-Meken, which cause a problem for the previous election pages, in which both obtained seats. I propose using a different, lighter, shade of red for United Kyrgyzstan, if that's ok with contributors here. Cordially.--Aréat (talk) 19:58, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

The previous colour used for them was #FF7070, but the diagram was created using #DA1F28 for some reason (are they under another colour on a different language wiki)? I would support changing back to #FF7070 if someone can change the diagram. Number 57 20:00, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

The previous color had been took from the previous election page of 2015, but the colors of the different parties were a bit random back then, and have been rationalised since then using logo colors. I had updated some last year, and others contributors recently completed the task. Thanks to them, by the way. So I wouldn't go for the previous color either, because if you search for "Butun Kyrgyzstan" you can see they used red a lot in campaigning. But a brighter shade of red would do the job, imo. I can do the diagram, I'm just waiting a bit for feedback just in case. ;)--Aréat (talk) 20:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

In this case I think leaving the red as it currently stands is fine, because even if the color is somewhat similar, two parties who use a similar colour didn't make it into the Supreme Assembly during this election, so in the diagram it is differentiated enough as it is. Also for the record, United Kyrgystan mainly uses red and white as their colors. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 22:05, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Here yes, but not in the previous election. And it would be better to keep a continuity from one page to the other. I'm not asking about a different color than red, just a different shade, for example #D54837 or #F00000.--Aréat (talk) 22:45, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

At least on my monitor, the two look close, but are distinguishable in the fact that Ata-Meken's is slightly darker. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 23:45, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

On the 2015 table in which they're side by side, they're pretty much undistinguishable to me. Likely even more so when upgrading the seat diagram. Do you mind if I go with the change of red shade? I'm ready to update the two diagrams.--Aréat (talk) 03:03, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

They look identical to me to, so I would support the change. Number 57 09:33, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I will go with the little change, then, and update all diagrams. We will have to use another of those table quite a bit sooner than expected, considering the election cancelment. I wonder if we will ever get definitive results. Very impressive population, these kirghiz, they really don't let themselves be stepped on by corrupt government, revolution after revolution.--Aréat (talk) 23:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Article name

@Number 57: Do you mind moving the article back to its original name over the redirect? Per The Diplomat, the election has been delayed to June 2021. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 21:12, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

The elections are promised "by June 2021". Is there certainty that the reforms can't be made and the elections called before the end of 2020? Number 57 23:13, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Technically, the answer is yes, because the current parliament extended its term to June of 2021, and the Central Election Commission walked back its original goal of holding elections in late December, meaning it will likely be held later. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 02:20, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
