'Bright Path', Kazakh pronunciation: [ɑq ʑol]), officially the "Aq Jol" Democratic Party of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: «Ақ жол» қазақстанның демократиялық партиясы, romanized: «Aq jol» qazaqstannyñ demokratialyq partiasy, Russian: Демократическая партия Казахстана «Ак жол», romanized: Demokraticheskaya partiya Kazakhstana «Ak zhol») is a liberal-conservative political party in Kazakhstan.
Despite its opposition stance, the Aq Jol had been repeatedly described as a pro-government party in Kazakhstan, with it joining the People's Coalition in support of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in the 2022 election.
The Aq Jol was established in January 2002 after a faction of moderates separated from the Democratic Choice of Kazakhstan (QDT), a reform movement founded in late 2001 by prominent Kazakh officials who challenged President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
While QDT took a confrontational stance toward the Nazarbayev administration, Aq Jol positioned itself as a moderate pro-reform, pro-business party, aiming to foster change through constructive dialogue rather than direct opposition.
The subsequent 18 August 2007 Mäjılıs elections saw Aq Jol secure 3.27% of the popular vote, yet no seats, as the ruling Nur Otan party claimed all parliamentary positions.
Following the 2016 Majilis elections, Aq Jol maintained a stable presence with seven seats, solidifying its role as a pro-business parliamentary faction focused on moderate reform and national development.
Additionally, Aq Jol succeeded in securing 11 akim (mayoral) positions at the local level, marking a significant step in the party’s regional influence.
