Kurultai deputies take oath to people of Kazakhstan

Deputies of Kazakhstan’s new unicameral parliament have taken an oath to the people of the country. The solemn ceremony was held in Astana during the opening of the Kurultai’s first session. The new convocation of 145 deputies pledged to faithfully serve the people of Kazakhstan and uphold the country’s Constitution and laws.

The new leadership of the Kurultai has also been formed. The Head of State nominated Aibek Dadebai for the post of Chairman of the new legislative body, with deputies backing his candidacy in a secret ballot. Three Deputy Chairpersons were subsequently elected: Nurlan Beknazarov, Daniya Yespayeva, and Dinara Zakiyeva. Their election was held by open vote. The chairs of eight standing committees were also approved. The new leadership will be responsible for organizing the work of the Kurultai and coordinating the activities of its members.

«The scale of the reforms underway in our country requires us to make well-considered decisions, demonstrate professionalism, and work with dedication. Every law and every decision has a specific purpose: to ensure the country’s continued development, strengthen our statehood, and improve the citizens’ well-being. The values and principles enshrined in the new Constitution, which has received the support of the people, must serve as the foundation for this work,» said Aibek Dadebai, Chairman of the Kurultai of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
