The People's Party of Kazakhstan (Template:Lang-kk, QHP; Template:Lang-ru, NPK), originally the Communist People's Party of Kazakhstan (Template:Lang-kk), is a political party in Kazakhstan. It is led by Aiqyn Qongyrov. The Secretaries of the Central Committee are Turgyn Syzdyqov, Gauhar Nugmanova, Viktor Smirnov and Jambyl Ahmetbekov.[1]

The party was registered on 21 June 2004. At the time of registration, the party had 90,000 members. Following the 2004 elections to the Mazhilis the party received 1.98% of total votes. In the 2007 elections to the Mazhilis the party won 1.29% of the votes and did not pass the electoral threshold. The QKHP was elected to parliament in the 2012 legislative election.[2]

History

The party emerged due to a split in the Communist Party of Kazakhstan (QKP). The idea to create a new party belongs to the 12 members of the Central Committee of Communist Party of Kazakhstan, who withdrew its membership because of the disagreements with the First Secretary of the QKP's Central Committee Serikbolsyn Abdildin.[3] The reason for the split with the QKP was the election of a Secretary and a member of Mazhilis Tolen Tokhtassynov.[4] About 15,000 members left QKP for QKHP. The founding congress QKHP took place in April 2004, on 21 June 2004 the party was registered with the Ministry of Justice of Kazakhstan.[3]

Following the elections to Mazhilis in 2004, the party received 1.98% of total voters (proportional system) and did not pass into Parliament.[3]

In the 2005 presidential elections, QKHP nominated Erasyl Abilqasymov as its candidate who received 0.34% of the votes.[5]

On 28 March 2007 the QKHP and the QPK held a joint press conference at which they announced an impending merger. QKHP subsequently abandoned the association with the QPK because of the sharp political differences.[3] At a press conference in June 2007, the First Secretary of QKHP Vladislav Kosarev named the fact that the Communist Party of Kazakhstan was considering associations with QKHP only at the highest level (Bureaus of Central Committee) as the main reason for refusing to merge, at the same time according to him consideration for such merger was not provided at local level. Kosarev said also that structures of QKP had been completely destroyed and the authority of the party among the people has been reduced to zero-level.[6]

In elections to Mazhilis in 2007, the party won 1.29% of total votes and did not pass the electoral threshold to Parliament.[7] In the 2012 election, the party won 7.19% of vote and 7 seats to become one of three parties to enter Parliament. Despite being officially in opposition, the party is considered as loyal to the regime and often votes with the government.

On 11 November 2020, at the 15th Extraordinary Congress of the QKHP, the party changed its name to the People's Party of Kazakhstan (QHP), a move that was opposed by Kosarev, although he did support the candidacy of Aiqyn Qongyrov as the Chairman, which was supported unanimously.[1]

Ideology

The party states that its target is a move to a society of genuine democracy, social justice, general spirituality, freedom and a prosperous economy based on scientific and technological progress and principles of scientific socialism. According to the QHP ideology a centerpiece of the society shall be a citizen with full civic rights and liberties, opportunities for development and manifestation of their abilities, as well as abilities to satisfy his diverse needs.[8]

To achieve this goal the party has set itself the following tasks:[8]

  • In the political sphere – struggle for democratization, conquest of power, establishment of genuine democracy, construction of People's Republic of Kazakhstan, recognition of ownership, precluding exploitation of man, namely: state, collective, private, shareholder, co-operative.
  • In the economic field – to overcome raw material orientation in economic development, introduction of modern technologies in industry and in agriculture, restoration of state ownership to key sectors of the economy.
  • In the social sphere – restoration and expansion of social security for the population that existed in the country before the reforms of the 1990s.
  • In international relations – support of the integration process of the republic with the CIS countries, the fight against terrorism, enhanced international cooperation.

The organizational structure of the QHP is based on the territorial principle. Organizational fundamentals of the party are primary party organizations that are created by three or more party members with decision of meeting which has to be approved by a regional or municipal party's committee. Branches and representations of the party represent party's policy to population, cooperate with state executive and representative bodies, political and social groups, have their own seal and letterhead.[8]
