The Kurultai, the country’s highest representative body, will have to give practical substance to the constitutional reform. As Andrey Kazantsev, Doctor of Political Sciences and Professor at Narxoz University, notes, the reform significantly raises the requirements for political parties. They are now expected not only to participate in parliamentary work, but also to have their own substantive agenda. This means putting forward concrete initiatives in the economy, politics, and social sphere. In a unicameral parliament, both political competition and parties’ accountability to voters will increase. Thus, the more effectively the Kurultai operates, the more quickly the state will be able to respond to changes and improve legislation.
«Now, the parties are expected to become the backbone
of the party-political system. They need to modernize, improve the country’s
life, implement economic reforms, carry out political modernization, further
develop an effective multi-vector foreign policy, and so on,» said Andrey Kazantsev, Doctor of Political Sciences
and Professor at Narxoz University.
