By 1992, the now independent Kyrgyzstan was led by Askar Akayev, who chose her to be Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, positions she held until later that year when she became her country's first ambassador to the US and Canada (1992–1994).

In May 1994 she was called back to her original post of Kyrgyz Minister of Foreign Affairs, remaining there for three years.

2002

From 2002 to 2004, she was recruited Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in the Peacekeeping Mission for Georgia.

2004

Upon her return to Kyrgyzstan in late 2004, Otunbayeva became politically active.

In December 2004, she and three other opposition parliamentarians founded the Ata-Jurt (Fatherland) public movement in preparation for the February 2005 parliamentary elections.

2005

From March to September 2005, Otunbayeva served as Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Otunbayeva was one of the key leaders of the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan which led to the overthrow of President Akayev.

Subsequently, she served for a few months as Acting Foreign Minister in the interim government of then prime minister (and acting president) Kurmanbek Bakiyev.

After Bakiyev was elected President and Feliks Kulov became Prime Minister, Otunbayeva failed to receive the required parliamentary support to become Foreign Minister.

She then ran unsuccessfully in a parliamentary by-election a few months later.

2006

Otunbayeva played a key role in the November 2006 protests that pressed successfully for a new democratic constitution.

She was the co-chairwoman of the country's Asaba (Flag) National Revival Party for a short time.

Since 2022, Otunbayeva has been serving as United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’ Special Representative for Afghanistan and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).

On 7 April 2010, she was chosen by opposition leaders as head of the Interim Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, following widespread rioting in Bishkek and the ouster of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev.

Bakiyev fled the Jalal-Abad area as the riots became more violent.

Unable to rally support, he resigned as president on 10 April 2010, and left the country for Kazakhstan.

Nine days later he went to Minsk, Belarus, where he was given protected-exile status.

On 21 April, he recanted his resignation and declared that he was still president of Kyrgyzstan.

Otunbayeva vowed to bring him to trial.

As interim president, Otunbayeva had four male deputies.

Otunbayeva is considered to be unusual as there are few women in politics in Kyrgyzstan.

Her first conversation after she came to power was with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

She later stated in the interview:"'We share a single information space with Russia, the Russian language is everywhere. We don't want the Russians to leave. Our entire smart technology business is made up of Russian people. My daughter-in-law is Russian. She says: “Mom, I found my roots in Karakol, where my grandparents are from.” The people have nostalgia for one big country, because we have suffered over these 15-18 years.'"Otunbayeva declared that new elections would be called within six months and that she would act as president until then.
