BISHKEK -- The chief spokesman for Kyrgyzstan's presidential administration has resigned, RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service reports.

Farid Niyazov, chief of the presidential information and coordination center, told RFE/RL that his decision is connected with parliamentary elections scheduled for October 10.

Niyazov said he wants to work for his Social Democratic Party -- the former party of President Roza Otunbaeva -- during this important period.
