CONTEXT
On 15 April, an initiative group of 16 people submitted an application to the Ministry of Justice to establish a new political party. On 17 April 2026, the organising committee confirmed the creation of the party. The party received state registration on 1 June.
On 12 June, the AMANAT party announced it was joining the Ädilet party, which is led by Aibek Dadebai. The party leaders described this step as a process of consolidating political forces to build a "Just Kazakhstan."
From 1 July 2026, a new Constitution came into force in Kazakhstan, under which the powers of the Parliament were terminated. Instead of a bicameral Parliament consisting of the Senate and the Majilis, a unicameral Kurultai has begun its work.
Elections for the new representative body have been scheduled for 23 August 2026.
