Kulov certainly doesn't seem like a bad leader to at least start off with and Ar Namys have (relatively speaking, as ever) a fair support base. One can but hope.

Taking into consideration Bakiev's poor reputation and being a person who "doesn’t stick to his gentleman’s word", Kulov has all chances to become a "non-official" leader of the country as an opposition and to be the strongest candidate for president in the next elections. I cant tell much about Isabekov. Just look at his biography. Most of his life he spent in kolkhozes and sovkhozes. The most suitable position for him is a ministry of agriculture. Though, he did almost nothing working there. I think that with resignation of Kulov oppositions gets very charismatic leader rich of political and “revolutionary” experience.
