The leaders of Kazakhstan's opposition party Adilet (Justice) which merged this year with another opposition party Ak Zhol (Bright Path) expressed their wish to exit the short-lasting coalition. According to Interfax Kazakhstan, the leadership of Adilet came to this conclusion late last week during a meeting to discuss its goals following Ak Zhol's unsuccessful showing in August's parliamentary elections.
Despite the hope of the opposition prior to the elections, the Nazarbayev-led Nur Otan party became the only party to make it past the 7 percent threshold needed to get representation in the lower house of the parliament. Leaders of the All-National Social Democratic Party, Ak Zhol, and the People’s Communist Party of Kazakhstan made a joint appeal to Nazarbayev, demanding that the parliamentary elections be canceled as illegitimate.
