CEC registers deputies of Kurultai

Kazakhstan’s Central Election Commission has officially registered 145 deputies of the Kurultai at its 16th meeting. From that moment, their powers took effect in accordance with Article 44 of the Constitutional Law ‘On the Kurultai and the Status of Its Deputies.’ Notably,  all five political parties that managed to clear the five-percent threshold in the election submitted their lists. Thus, Adilet received 110 mandates, Auyl  –  10, Respublica – 9, while the Nationwide Social Democratic Party and Aq Jol received 8 mandates each. The deputies were presented with their certificates and badges. CEC Chairman Nurlan Abdirov noted that a deputy’s mandate is, first and foremost, the result of voters’ trust and choice. At the same time, the status of a deputy places a responsibility to society and the entire country.
