Tokayev-aligned party heads for landslide win in Kazakhstan's parliamentary vote

Exit polls from Kazakhstan's parliamentary elections show the pro-Tokayev Adilet party winning around 70 percent of the vote, pointing to a dominant position for the ruling camp in the new legislature.

Kazakhstan has held parliamentary elections in which exit polls indicate a sweeping victory for the Adilet party, which is aligned with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

Exit poll figures

Surveys conducted among voters leaving polling stations suggest Adilet secured roughly 70 percent of the vote. Such a result would give the party a commanding majority in the country's new parliament.

Background

The vote took place under a political system long shaped by Tokayev, who has led Kazakhstan since 2019. Adilet is closely tied to the president's political agenda, and its projected win points to continued strength for the ruling establishment within the country's legislative institutions.

Detailed information remains limited at this stage, with full official results and further context on the vote's conduct yet to be released. Final confirmation of the outcome typically follows the completion of vote counting.
