Kokdala district is a district in Kashkadarya region. It was established on March 17, 2022, by dividing the territory of Chiroqchi district into two. Its center is Yettitom.[1] The area is 171 thousand hectares.
On October 11, 2021, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who presented his candidacy in the 2021 presidential election, during a meeting with voters from Kashkadarya, said that due to the large population of Chiroqchi district and the lack of development of transport infrastructure, it takes a lot of time and money for the population to come and go to the center of the district, and proposed to divide the territory of the district into two.[2] On March 2, 2022, at the plenary session of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the issue of establishing the Kokdala district was considered. At the meeting, it was agreed that 171,000 hectares of land with 177,000 inhabitants will be allocated to the newly established Kokdala district from Chiroqchi district.[3] On March 17, 2022, at the meeting of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the relevant decision on the establishment of Ko'kdala district was adopted.[4]
