Briefing by the Ambassador of Kazakhstan on the results of the parliamentary elections was held in Moldova

        On March 31, 2023, the briefing by Kazakh Ambassador to Moldova Almat Aidarbekov on the results of the last elections to the Mazhilis of Parliament and maslikhats was held in Chisinau with the participation of representatives of the mass media.

        In his speech, the Kazakh diplomat focused on the political reforms initiated by President K.Tokayev, as a result of which the Constitution of the country was changed by a third. In terms of strengthening the Parliament, a mixed system (proportional-majoritarian) of forming the Mazhilis in the ratio of 70/30 was introduced. The procedure for registration of political parties has been simplified. In particular, the registration threshold has been reduced fourfold - from 20 to 5 thousand members. The process of entering to the Mazhilis has been reduced from 7 to 5 percent.

        At the same time, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan stressed that to observe the elections over 800 international observers from 12 organizations and 40 states visited Kazakhstan. Two representatives of the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Moldova took part from Moldova.

        The Kazakh diplomat noted that the elections to the Mazhilis of Parliament and maslikhats have become the personification of the changes taking place in society and will give impetus to the further modernization of our political system.
