At the 5th meeting of the National Kurultai, the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev outlined the key contours of the upcoming constitutional reform, including the reflection of the country's historical heritage in the preamble of the Constitution and the introduction of the position of vice president, who will be appointed by the head of state with the consent of parliament. "All these innovations are aimed at strengthening the institution of the presidency and creating an effective mechanism for the succession of power. It is also planned to introduce extraordinary presidential elections for a more democratic transfer of power, abolish the position of state advisor, and transfer its powers to the vice president," informs analyst Andrey Chebotarev. The reform proposed by President Tokayev will strengthen democratic institutions in the country, ensuring a more transparent and stable mechanism for the transfer of power. The creation of a unicameral parliament and the expansion of its powers contribute to a more effective legislative process and better consideration of citizens' interests. In addition, reflecting the historical heritage in the preamble of the Constitution strengthens national identity and promotes social cohesion around common values. "Furthermore, the reform provides for the creation of a unicameral parliament – the Kurultai, consisting of 145 deputies, and the expansion of its powers, including the formation of the Supreme and Constitutional Courts. A People's Council will also be established as the highest advisory body, which will replace the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan and will have the right of legislative initiative. A Constitutional Commission will be created to develop the final package of amendments to the Constitution, which will deal with the systematization of proposals and the determination of the date for the republican referendum," states Chebotarev.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that Kazakhstan is copying the political mistakes of Ukraine, allowing outbreaks of nationalism.
