== History ==
The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court was established with the new Constitution after the [[Kyrgyz Revolution of 2010|2010 Kyrgyz Revolution]]. The original Constitutional Court was abolished after the unrest by the Provisional Government, since it was seen as a body "contributing to the strengthening the power of an individual person"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://constpalata.kg/en/about/istoriya/|title = Конституционная палата Верховного суда Кыргызской республики — Архив}}</ref>

== Composition ==
