Today, government officials were among the first to cast their ballots in the elections of deputies to the Kurultai. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov was among them. Head of the Presidential Administration Roman Sklyar cast his ballot at the Palace of Independence, while First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Erlan Karin voted at the National Academic Library. Karin emphasized the significance of the President’s reforms and, of course, the Kurultai elections, which mark an institutional reset and a transition to a fundamentally new political model.
«These elections are truly far from ordinary. Of course, every election campaign is important, but today’s vote can be called a historic event. In March, we voted for the new Constitution, which came into force on July 1. The outcome of today’s elections will determine the composition of the new unicameral Parliament – the Kurultai. And this marks the beginning of a new era,» Karin said.
Other members of the government also cast their ballots, as did the leaders
of the seven political parties participating in the Kurultai elections.
