Democratic Party of Kazakhstan

The Democratic Party of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстанның Демократиялық Партиясы, romanized: Qazaqstannyñ Demokratialyq Partiasy, QDP) is an unregistered political party in Kazakhstan that was founded and led by Janbolat Mamai, former journalist and a political activist.

From there, he outlined plans in submitting documents to the Ministry of Justice for registration and that the founding congress for the party would be held within near future where the charter and programme would be presented.
