Kazakhstan Kurultai Election: 2nd Place

What does the victory of the new pro-presidential party in the elections in Kazakhstan mean? According to the Central Election Commission, "Adilet" ("Justice") received more than 71% of the votes. The current parliamentary elections were held early and under new rules using a proportional system, not a mixed one, as in previous years. "Adilet" absorbed another pro-government party, "Amanat", two months before the elections. The parliament has thus become more pro-presidential, so it will be easier for the administration to implement the reforms announced by Tokayev, notes Stanislav Pritchin, head of the Central Asia sector at the IMEMO RAS. In his opinion, Kazakhstan's domestic policy will not undergo significant changes in the changed political configuration. The parliamentary elections will also not lead to a change in Astana's foreign policy, the analyst believes.
