The key facts

  • Farrukh Abduraimov was elected First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court for a 5-year term.
  • Alisher Usmanov was relieved of the position he had held since September 2025.
  • The decision was adopted by the Senate Council on November 3 upon the president's nomination.

A new appointment at the Supreme Court

On November 3 the Senate Council of the Oliy Majlis adopted a resolution appointing Farrukh Abduraimov as First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of Uzbekistan. He will hold this position for a term of five years, replacing Alisher Usmanov, who had headed the judicial panel since September 2025. The decision was formalized during a session of the upper chamber of parliament, chaired by Speaker Tanzila Narbaeva.

The career path of the new leader

Before his appointment to the Supreme Court, Farrukh Abduraimov served as Chairman of the Syrdarya Regional Court since December 2025. Previously, he held the post of Deputy Chairman of the Andijan Regional Court. Under Uzbek legislation, such personnel decisions are made by the Senate upon the president's nomination, which underscores the centralized nature of forming the top tier of the judiciary.

Leadership change and personnel updates

Alisher Usmanov was relieved of his position as First Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court during the same Senate session. Participants of the session noted that renewing the staff is necessary to strengthen the capacity of the judicial system and ensure its effective operation. Thus, the key executive responsible for the judicial panel has changed at the country's highest judicial body.
