Kazakhstan’s new ruling party projected to win Sunday elections

The newly formed pro-government party, Adilet, won Kazakhstan's parliamentary elections with 71.17% of the vote, according to the electoral commission. The result strengthens the president's grip on power and establishes a new Kurultai composed of five parties. While the outcome was projected, the election process faced criticism for excluding opposition members and targeting media outlets. The victory cements the executive's control over the legislative branch as the country evaluates its future alignment with Russia, China, or the European Union.
