Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev presided over the final session of the country’s bicameral parliament on June 30, signaling the end of a 30-year institutional period. This meeting occurred ahead of a significant constitutional overhaul set to take effect on July 1. The reforms aim to modernize Kazakhstan’s political system, though specific details of the changes were not outlined in this report. The changes effectively abolish the upper chamber of parliament. Tokayev characterized the overhaul as a new stage in the nation’s political development. The move represents a substantial shift in the structure of Kazakhstan’s government.
