A recent survey reveals that Kazakh voters are primarily focused on economic issues as they approach the Aug. 23 Kurultai elections. The findings, presented at the Sapar Expert Club meeting in Astana, indicate that raising incomes is the top priority for 62.3% of 1,200 respondents. Curbing inflation followed closely behind, with 48.9% identifying it as a key concern. Fighting corruption also ranked high among voter priorities, securing third place in the survey. Experts convened to discuss these expectations and the role of political parties in addressing them. The elections are taking place under Kazakhstan’s new Constitution, signaling a period of political transition and reform. These survey results offer valuable insight into the needs and desires of the Kazakh electorate.
