Bakyt Ergeshevich Torobayev (born 5 April 1973) is a Kyrgyz politician. He has been a member of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan since the 2007 parliamentary election, and was an official candidate for the 2017 presidential election in Kyrgyzstan, until he withdrew nine days before the start of the election.
Torobayev was born on 5 April 1973 in the city of Jalal-Abad, which is located in the south-west of Kyrgyzstan (was then the Kirgiz SSR). His father was named Ergesh.
Torobayev graduated from the economics faculty of the Kyrgyz State National University in 1999, with a degree in finance and credit.
Torobayev started work in 1995 as a director of "Zhamlia i K", a Kazakhstan-based production and commercial company; he specialised in the sale of petroleum products and the construction of filling stations. From 2000 to 2007, he worked as the general director of "Mariam", a flour factory.
Torobayev entered the Supreme Council after the 2007 parliamentary election, as a member of Kurmanbek Bakiyev's Ak Zhol party. From 15 December 2009 to 2010 he was the Minister of Emergency Situations, which includes the period of the 2010 Kyrgyz revolution. After the overthrow of Bakiyev, Torobayev joined the Respublika Party of Kyrgyzstan, led by Omurbek Babanov. However, Torobayev and Babanov frequently clashed in the party, which led to Torobayev leaving Respublika and founding Onuguu-Progress. The party first stood candidates in the 2015 parliamentary election.
