Inclusive Parliament

The Inclusive Parliament (Kazakh: Инклюзивті Парламент, romanized: Ïnklyuzïvti Parlament; Russian: Инклюзивный Парламент) is a parliamentary group in the Mäjilis.

It aims to address issues related to disability rights, improve inclusion, and enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities in Kazakhstan.

In 2020, the Parliament passed a mandatory parliamentary quota law, requiring parties to nominate at least 30% of women and young people as deputy candidates for the lower house, the Mäjilis.

[1] However, the 2021 legislative election was held before another amendment to the law was enacted in late 2021 under President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's proposal, including persons with special needs in the quota, which was expected to affect the composition of the Majilis in the next election.

[3] This development prompted the creation of the Inclusive Parliament group consisting of 18 deputies on 27 June 2023 under the resolution of the Bureau of the Mäjilis,[4] which would soon commence its duties under the leadership of Amanat deputy Erlan Äbdiev.
