The Week in Kazakhstan: Friendly Justice

A new political party is seeking registration in Kazakhstan after the creation of the Adilet (“Justice”) initiative group on April 15. The group, which consists of 16 people from government-friendly civil society organizations, media, and business, said they want to put the new Constitution into practice. In the past decade, Kazakhstan’s authorities have repeatedly denied registration to a number of political groups and only allowed two loyalist parties to register in 2023 right before the previous parliamentary elections.
