Pro-presidential party in Kazakhstan won 71% of votes in weekend election, electoral commission says

-

ALMATY, Aug ‌24 (Reuters) - Adilet, a newly-formed ​pro-government party in Kazakhstan, has won ⁠just over 71% of the vote in a parliamentary election ​held on Sunday, the electoral ‌commission said on Monday, in a result likely to consolidate President Kassym-Jomart ⁠Tokayev's power.

Adilet was ⁠founded in the Central Asian country earlier this year and is led by top aides ‌to Tokayev. Shortly after its ⁠founding, it incorporated the ‌previous ruling party, ​Amanat.

Aside from Adilet, the electoral commission said four other blocs, ‌the pro-business Respublika ​and Ak ⁠Zhol parties, the centre-left Nationwide ‌Social Democratic Party, ⁠and the Auyl party, which represents rural voters, had entered ​parliament.

All four opposition ‌parties are seen as broadly ⁠supportive of Tokayev's ​government.
