August 23 — election day
On July 1, 2026, Kazakhstan’s new Constitution, adopted in a nationwide referendum on March 15, entered into force. After that, the Mazhilis and Senate ceased operating and their deputies were dismissed.
The new Constitution provides for a unicameral Parliament — the Kurultai. It will consist of 145 deputies elected for five-year terms.
Kazakhstan held its Kurultai parliamentary election on August 23. However, the formation of the new legislative body will not be the only political change in the country. Political analysts told a Tengrinews.kz correspondent what transformations await Kazakhstan’s system of government after the election and what the next stages will be.
