Kamchybek Tashiev Net Worth

Background and career

Kamchybek Kydyrsha uulu Tashiev (Kyrgyz: Камчыбек Кыдырша уулу Ташиев; born 27 September 1968) is a Kyrgyz politician who was head of the political party Ata-Zhurt until its merger with the Respublika party in 2014. Tashiev is most notable for being the Chairman of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and the Kyrgyz Football Union from 2020 until 10 February 2026.

Characterized as the second most powerful politician in Kyrgyzstan and even later as de facto co-ruler, Tashiev formed a decade-long political alliance with authoritarian ruler Sadyr Japarov. However, Tashiev was dismissed as Chairman of the GKNB in February 2026 while seeking medical treatment in Germany, and was in April 2026 charged with abuse of office and the violent seizure of power by the Sadyr Japarov regime. This came in the aftermath of an appeal by influential Kyrgyz politicians to Japarov to hold early presidential elections.
