Kazakhstan’s government steps down as newly elected Kurultai holds first session

Kazakhstan has begun a political transition under its newly adopted constitution, which replaced the bicameral parliament with a unicameral Kurultai. The first session of the Kurultai took place in Astana, with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev opening the session and emphasizing the reforms aimed at modernizing governance. The ruling Adilet party, which merged with Amanat, secured a majority with 110 seats out of 145 total. The previous government stepped down as mandated by the new constitution but remains active until a new government is formed. The Kurultai, inspired by historical traditions of the Great Steppe, represents five political parties and includes lawmakers elected for five-year terms.
