Six parties are headed to Kazakhstan’s parliament based on the latest exit poll from the Eurasian Integration Institute (IEI), with DEA News circulating the initial findings. The results point to a clear lead for the ruling movement as voters weighed the choices presented in the ballot. The data shows Amanat securing a decisive majority, while a spectrum of other parties surpassed the threshold required to gain seats in the Mäldysh (lower) chamber of parliament. These figures come as the election process enters the post-poll phase, with tallies beginning to be verified and the final seat allocation to be confirmed in the coming hours and days.
According to the IEI report, Amanat tallied 53.46 percent of ballots, underscoring the party’s broad public backing across multiple regions. Following Amanat, the Auyl party, described as the People’s Democratic Patriotic Party, registered 10.52 percent, while the Respublica Party drew 8.9 percent. The Kazakhstan People’s Party achieved 6.25 percent, the Ak Zhol Party reached 7.87 percent, and the nationwide Social Democratic Party closed the threshold with 5.31 percent. Together, these numbers confirm that all six parties crossed the five-percent barrier needed to enter parliament, reflecting a diverse representation of political currents in the national legislature.
Polling day across Kazakhstan concluded at 21:00 local time in Moscow, and rapid vote counting began in many precincts as analysts awaited more complete tallies from regional election commissions. The completion of the polling phase marks the transition from voter participation to the formal process of seat distribution, with observers monitoring the reliability of counting procedures and the accuracy of the reported percentages.
Former Deputy Secretary General Grigory Logvinov of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization noted that the parliamentary elections were conducted in a calm and orderly atmosphere. His assessment aligns with other observers who reported routine operations at polling stations, orderly ballot handling, and a general absence of disruption. As is customary in Kazakhstan’s electoral cycle, international and domestic monitors focus on procedural transparency, the integrity of vote counting, and the timely release of official results as authorities finalize the composition of the Mäldysh, the country’s lower house of Parliament.
In the broader context, analysts emphasize the importance of the five-percent threshold, which shapes the party landscape by ensuring that only groups with a demonstrable level of public support gain representation. The distribution of seats among Amanat and the other five parties will influence legislative priorities, committee assignments, and the overall direction of policy in the coming parliamentary term. Observers also highlight the regional and demographic breadth of support for each party, noting that turnout dynamics, regional affiliations, and campaign messaging will continue to influence post-election discourse as the country charts its legislative agenda for the next term. The IEI data provides a snapshot of the immediate electoral outcome, while the longer-term implications will emerge as official results are certified, seats are allocated, and party leaderships begin immediate post-election consultations about governance and policy priorities.
