Kazakhstan's inaugural parliamentary vote under new constitution
Voters in Kazakhstan are today heading to the polls to choose members of the first unicameral parliament following the adoption of the new constitution in March. The new constitution abolished the Senate and created a single-chamber parliament known as "Kurultay." About 12.6 million voters out of the country's total population of 20 million have the right to vote, with seven parties participating. This change aims to strengthen the role of Parliament in decision-making, as its role was previously secondary, as part of reforms launched by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev after the unrest in 2022 that resulted in the deaths of 238 people.
