  • S Unsurprising Elections
    Kazakstan’s Unsurprising Elections President’s party wins again as pressure grows on independent observers and opposition forces. Follow us on LinkedIn The ruling Nur Otan party has emerged as the predictable winner of Kazakstan’s parliamentary elections, which unfolded alongside increased harassment of activists and observers. As the first elections to see a mandatory 30 per cent quota for women and youth in party lists, the January 10 polls were supposed to represent a level of reform. In addition, for the first time, elections to maslikhats (local representative bodies) were held according to party lists. However, there were few surprises as out of the five parties running, the three that were already serving in the mazhilis – the lower house of parliament – won. Nur Otan gained 72 per cent of the vote, the Ak Zhol Democratic Party took 10 per cent and the People’s Party of Kazakstan nine per cent. Activists held unauthorized protests in Almaty and Nur-Sultan on election day calling for a voter boycott and demanding that former president Nursultan Nazarbayev, who retains broad powers, withdraw from political activities. Despite President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s statement that there were no repressive measures taken against dissent, the police detained dozens of protesters. In Nur-Sultan, they were detained before they had a chance to demonstrate, but in Almaty the security forces surrounded activists in Novaya Square. The crowds, included representatives of the Oyan, Qazaqstan! movement and the unregistered Democratic Party, were cordoned off in freezing temperatures for almost seven hours. There were also disruptions to mobile internet access in Almaty and other cities, which political scientist Dosym Satpayev could have been a misuse of security measures intended to fight terrorism.

  • The 2007 Parliamentary Elections in Kazakhstan: Results and Prospects
    THE 2007 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN KAZAKHSTAN: RESULTS AND PROSPECTS This article focuses on the political reform ongoing in Kazakhstan and the elections which took place in August 2007. The authors argue that democratization and positive change is underway and the failure of the opposition parties in the recent elections was largely a result of their lack of progressive ideas and emphasis on merely attacking authorities. The authors conclude that, unlike many observers from abroad think, Kazakhstan will benefi t most from the stability that the current single party government offers and, based on the maturation of the opposition parties, will develop a more solid multi-party governance in due time.

  • Kazakhstan: Parliamentary Elections Amid Protests
    Kazakhstan: Parliamentary Elections Amid Protests The elections to the lower house of the Kazakh Parliament were held amid the protests and activists’ detentions. Follow us on LinkedIn Five political parties competed for seats in Mazhilis and maslikhats: Nur Otan, the Ak Zhol Democratic Party, which represents the interests of business, the agricultural Auyl Party, the Adal Party, and former communists, People’s Party of Kazakhstan. The Nationwide Social Democratic Party refused to participate in the elections. Kazakhstan: Parliamentary Elections Amid Protests According to authorities, after the elections, the country’s political system will function «in a new mode».

More than half of them are from the CIS. The SCO mission, TURKPA and CSTO noted the democratic nature of the Parliamentary elections and stated that there were no serious violations. However, the independent observers noted that there were some violations. «It was disappointing. The ballots were «counted» as expected; the observers were not allowed to watch. They did not demonstrate it to the public, did not announce which ballot was for which party, did not allow to look at the votes for Nur Otan in the largest pile. We do not take their word for it. Now, think for yourself,» says journalist and independent observer Svetlana Glushkova.
