The most notable rejection was Roza Otunbaeva to be foreign minister. Otunbaeva served in that post for a time in the 1990s when Askar Akaev was president.

Prime Minister Feliks Kulov said he was surprised by the outcome, but told reporters that new candidates for vacant posts will be nominated shortly.
