Forward, Kyrgyzstan! (Kyrgyz: Алга, Кыргызстан!, romanized: Alga, Kyrgyzstan!) was a political party in Kyrgyzstan. The party was founded in September 2003 as a merger of four parties. According to Azattyk Ünalgysy (Radio Liberty), the Forward Kyrgyzstan Party is considered a party of power. The Chairman of the party was Bolot Begaliev but one of its notable founders was Bermet Akayeva, eldest daughter of then-President Askar Akayev. However, Bermet did not run as a candidate of the party. In the 2005 Kyrgyz parliamentary election, the party won 17 seats.
The party was formed from the merger of five separate parties: Manas El, the New Time, the New Movement and the Party of Cooperators. On December 8, 2003 the Birimdik Party agreed to merge with the party.
Following the 2005 Tulip Revolution, the future of the party was unclear; it faded away shortly thereafter.
