The Inclusive Parliament (Kazakh: Инклюзивті Парламент, romanizedÏnklyuzïvti Parlament; Russian: Инклюзивный Парламент) is a parliamentary group in the Mäjilis. It was formed in 2023 during the 8th convocation of the Mäjilis, which comprises deputies from all six parties and independents, as well as the Senate deputies.

The parliamentary group was formed after the election of deputies with disabilities to the Mäjilis in the 2023 legislative election. It aims to address issues related to disability rights, improve inclusion, and enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities in Kazakhstan.

History

[edit]

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.[2]

Following the early dissolution of the 7th Parliament of Kazakhstan, the 2023 legislative election saw the election of several lawmakers with disabilities for the 8th Parliament of Kazakhstan.[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.[5]
