“All these last three years, I knew that this would happen, I turned to Sooronbai Jeenbekov with statements to help them.

I want to say only one thing: everything that I think about this and about them, I said at one time. Now it would be wrong if I to criticize, it will be biased, because they - the then president, his brother, his staff and a number of other deputies - fought with me, with some 19-year-old boy, fired my parents and other relatives from work, summoned me for interrogation, organized intimidation actions, They mocked and eventually imprisoned them and threatened to torture them.

On 26 October 2020, Sultanbekov announced that he refused to be part of the government.

According to Sultanbekov, Sadyr Japarov is "already under the influence of a number of people, and today the state is plunging into chaos, lawlessness, dictatorship, corrupt people come to power, the country's Constitution is not respected.”{{Cite web |date=2020-10-27 |title=Темирлан Султанбеков отказался быть в составе Правительства |url=https://limon.kg/ru/news:73339 |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=limon.kg |publisher=Портал "Лимон"}}

During the adoption of the new Constitution, Akylbek Japarov proposed an amendment to raise the age threshold for deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh from 21 to 25 years, in order not to let Sultanbekov into parliament. The Constitutional Conference rejected Akylbek Japarov's proposal unanimously. However, in the final text of the new Constitution a clause appeared on raising the threshold age for deputies from 21 to 25 years. Sultanbekov said in an interview with the media that he spoke with the authorities and tried to negotiate about the inadmissibility of depriving him of the opportunity to participate in the elections, but the negotiations did not lead to success.{{Citation |title=Темирлан Султанбеков : " Эмне үчүн эл чыдап, бийликтегилер көбүш керек?" |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLuYBUoxDYw |access-date=2023-09-04 |language=en}}

In 2022, during a panel discussion, Uzar Zhylkybaev, Deputy Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Kyrgyz Republic, admitted and emphasized that raising the age limit to 25 years for parliamentarians was adopted in order to prevent Sultanbekov from entering parliament. During the adoption of the new Constitution, Akylbek Zhaparov proposed to amend the age limit for deputies of the JK KR from 21 to 25 years old, Sultanbekov was 22 years old.{{Cite web |last=Kyrgyztoday |title=Темирлан Султанбеков: "Зачем менять целые статьи в Конституции, чтобы отомстить мне?" » Политика » Gezitter.org - Чтобы понимали... |url=https://www.gezitter.org/politic/93295_temirlan_sultanbekov_zachem_menyat_tselyie_stati_v_konstitutsii_chtobyi_otomstit_mne/ |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=www.gezitter.org}}

Social Democratic factions are actively working in regional parliaments and are showing great efficiency and effectiveness.
Based on the results of 2022, the Bishkek City Council of Deputies awarded Sultanbekov a silver badge of distinction. Under the leadership of Sultanbekov, legally independent, but affiliated with the party, youth, women's and environmental organizations were created. They became full members of international organizations. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Social Democrats party interrupted the long-standing traditional foreign policy of Eurasianism and international inter-party cooperation only within the CIS and Asia.
Thus, the Social Democrats party began active interaction with political parties in Europe, with the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats faction of the European Parliament.
