Kazakhstan's first single-chamber parliament elected
Voters in Kazakhstan have turned their attention to voting to elect a new, single-chamber parliament as part of the constitutional reforms approved by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The elections feature a contest among seven parties vying for 145 seats and are held to replace the previous bicameral parliament with a new, unicameral one. The aim is to strengthen the executive branch and expand the president's powers. Tokayev secured a new term through early elections and constitutional amendments. This move comes after violent unrest and changes to the governing system, all aimed at promoting stability and wealth distribution.
