Called on opposition forces to unite after the assault and arrest of his father:
"...this does not mean that we should wait for each of us to come and be tied up. This means that today all opposition forces must understand that the future of the state is at stake. We must show strong resistance to the dictatorship of power. If a coalition of parties wins the next elections - a coalition of opposition against the advancing dictatorship, then we will be able to turn the tide."[9]
Despite the arrest of the SDPK party headquarters and the party television channel (April TV), he opened a new party office[10] and called his party members to unite.[11]
In 2019, together with his fellow party members, after unfair election results, he announced the protest action and went to Ala-Too Square, which resulted in the Kyrgyz revolution of 2020.[12] Kadyrbek Atambayev released an investigation into the connection of the president’s relatives from the Jeenbekov clan with customs corruption at the South-Western Customs Point through the Southern Technical Inspection.[13] He found out that the case against party members is being conducted by the nephew of President Jeenbekov.[13][14] Kadyrbek Atambaev was one of the first of the protesters to enter the White House during protests, that resulted in overthrow of president Sooronbay Jeenbekov.[15] He spoke about the torture of his father, ex-president of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev, at the congress of the Socialist International in Madrid in 2022.[16] Socialist International Secretary General Luis Ayala visited Kyrgyzstan, where he helped obtain permission to conduct a medical examination.[17]
