1. INTRODUCTION

According to an official invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Republic of Kazakhstan to observe the 26 April 2015 snap presidential election, the Institute of international Relations and Economic Cooperation decided to evaluate the political, judicial, legislative and general framework of the early presidential election from 26 April 2015.

 The aim of the evaluation process was to assess the pre-election environment and the preparations for the presidential election.

The evaluation process comprised in legislative text analyses, assessment of general political situation in the country and the conformity with general accepted democratic practices and regulation and with bona fide principles.

Taken into account were also: public opinions, statements and discussions expressed by officials from different Kazakhstan institutions and the election and civil administration, as well as official spokespersons from political parties, media outlets, civil society personalities, and the international community.

1. GENERAL ASSESSMENT OF LAW PROVISIONS

According with the law prescriptions the presidential vote will start on 26 April 2015, giving the voters the chance to elect the president for a five-year term.

The law encapsulates also the necessary democratic prescriptions for an open and fair electoral process.

 The April 26, 2015 election will be the fourth consecutive national election called on early bases, a supplementary proof of a democratic and viable electoral system.

The laws that are governing the presidential elections are governed by the Constitution, the Constitutional Law on Elections (Election Law), and regulations of the Central Election Commission (CEC).

The assessment process considered that Kazakhstan is a viable and fully committed party to all major international and regional instruments related to the holding of democratic elections and had continuously and full abiding by his international democratic regulations.

There have been no changes to the Election Law since the last elections held in 2011, and we have to mention that in 2011 the Election Monitoring Committee of Institute of international Relations and Economic Cooperation had find that the law and regulation governing the electoral process in Kazakhstan are completely corresponding to international laws and regulation insuring a perfect electoral process.

 The authorities Kazakhstan authorities underlined in all public statements their nation commitment to conduct elections in compliance with the principles of openness, transparency and fairness.

 The election will be administered by a complex and modern system of commissions, composed of Central Electoral Commission and including number of  14 Territorial Election Commissions and the City Election Commissions for Astana`s and Almaty`s regions, 207 District Election Commissions, and more than 9,000 Local Election Commissions (LECs).

The Central Electoral Commission composition and activity is fully independent and in perfect correspondence with international laws and regulations insuring the independence of electoral and monitoring process.

In the list of democratic provisions the Election Monitoring Committee of Institute of international Relations and Economic Cooperation noted:

The fact that all citizens over 18 years of age have the right to vote, there is a nationwide electronic voter list to identify duplicate entries.

Presidential candidates are required to be citizens by birth, at least 40 years old, fluent in the state language, and officially resident in Kazakhstan for at least 15 years.

The same recommendation is made on this element as in 2011: The Election Monitoring Committee of Institute of international Relations and Economic Cooperation considers necessary a general recommendation for all states to include such provisions in their electoral laws insuring a perfect national representations to the highest office of the land.  

The Election Law guarantees the right to conduct an unimpeded campaign for or against any candidate.

In the democratic landscape of Kazakhstan, the Election Monitoring Committee of Institute of international Relations and Economic Cooperation noted the existence of a powerful independent media, with an impressive number of mass media entities operating in the country.

Also a full independent television network is offering a perfect dialogue and information source.

The Kazakhstan Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and prohibits censorship.

Keeping in mind that no elections can be considered as free and democratic without the presence of international observers the Election Monitoring Committee of Institute of International Relations and Economic Cooperation decided to support Kazakhstan electoral process and democratic credential by monitoring and observing all stages of the 2015, 26 April Early Presidential Election in Kazakhstan.

III. ELECTION CLIMATE ANALYSES

1. FACT FINDING

Kazakhstan is a fully flagged democratic republic, respecting the equilibrium of powers and balanced distribution of constitutional powers.

The president is acting in full respect of the democratic system and the country has a long tradition of political process in a democratic manner and with all the guarantees for an inclusive and democratic process.

The institutional system is offering a perfect balanced voice to parliamentary and representations system.

The 26 April 2015 Early Presidential Election where convened in a perfect transparent and inclusive manner at the request of the highest representative and democratic institution in the country: Assembly of people of Kazakhstan.

The decision was upheld fully constitutional and legal based by the Constitutional Council.

The democratic initiative for an early presidential election was supported by the Kazakhstan Parliament and, on 25 February, the Kazakhstan President announced the election would be held on 26 April.

As we have mentioned previously the next election will be the fourth consecutive national election to be called early.

On 27 February, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan stressed the nation’s commitment to conduct a free and fair election in line with the principles of openness, transparency and fairness.

The Election Monitoring Committee of Institute of international Relations and Economic Cooperation considers that the electoral process is fundamental, in law provisions and spirit and in technical consideration perfectly administered, offering a perfect climate and an open and inclusive and in full fairness  political discourse resulted in a perfect competitive electoral environment.

1. LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Regarding the previous respect to democratic commitments, the Republic of Kazakhstan has fully respected his international obligations regarding construction of a free electoral consultation.

We must note that: European Council on International Relations has made an in-depth analysis of the electoral law and constitutional framework of the Republic of Kazakhstan during 2011 Kazakhstan Presidential elections.

The focus of this analysis where: the mass media law, the election law, the political laws and the Constitutional Law of Kazakhstan and had operated a surveillance of the measure taken by the Central Electoral Commission in order to insure a free and open election atmosphere.

The conclusion of the European Council on International Relations monitoring commission was that: the necessary steps in order to insure an honest and balanced electoral consultation respecting democratic standards were taken by Government of Kazakhstan.

The European Union monitoring mission insured also the Election Day supervision, the supervision of counting and tabulation of elections results in a significant and representative number of sections and commissions.

The conclusions of the committee findings can be summon up as an endorsement of the law and constitutional provisions of Kazakhstan electoral system.     

 

In the 26 April 2015 the same principles and laws are applying as in 2011 elections case.

The primary legal framework for presidential elections includes the Constitution, the Constitutional Law on Elections (Election Law), and regulations of the Central Election Commission (CEC). Other relevant laws include the Law on the President, the Law on Political Parties, the Civil Procedures Code, the Criminal Code, the Administrative Offences Code, the Law on Peaceful Assemblies, and various local regulations related to public assemblies. Kazakhstan is a party to major international and regional instruments related to the holding of democratic elections

 The president is directly elected by popular vote in a two-round system.

To be elected in the first round of voting, a candidate must receive more than half of all votes cast.

If no candidate reaches the required majority, the two candidates receiving the most votes contest a second round within two months of the first round, in which the candidate who receives the higher number of votes is considered elected.

 A 2007 constitutional amendment reduced the presidential term from seven to five years and exempted the first president – the incumbent President Nazarbayev – from the established limit of two consecutive terms.

 In 2010, the first president was given the privileged legal status of Kazakhstan’s „Leader of the Nation” according to a parliamentary vote and respecting the constitutional framework, in a fully law abiding manner.

 The incumbent president has been in office since 1991 and had a proven history of respecting the democratic rule of political process and respecting constitutional and legal boundaries.

1. ELECTION SUPERVISIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

The election will be administered by a four-layer system of election commissions. The election administration comprises the CEC, 14 Territorial Election Commissions and the City Election Commissions of Astana and Almaty (collectively referred to as TECs), 207 District Election Commissions (DECs), and more than 9,000 Local Election Commissions (LECs) including some 65 polling stations abroad.

The Republic of Kazakhstan had acquiesce to the fallowing instrumental accords for up-holding democratic values: the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 1979 Convention for Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, 1965 International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, 2003 Convention against Corruption, 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,, and the 2002 Convention on the Standards of Democratic Elections, Electoral Rights and Freedoms in the Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Kazakhstan is also a fully flagged member of the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission, a supplementary proof of the country definitive election of the democratic ways.

Membership and submission to all the previously noted agreements and treaty are creating a perfect election environment in accordance with international laws.

1. PROCEDURES FOR CANDIDATE NOMINATION AND REGISTRY

The Constitution and electoral law are offering the climate for an inclusive and representative participation in the electoral race: the presidential candidate may be nominated through self-nomination or by a public association, including a political party.  All equally candidates are required to be citizens by birth, to have at least 40 years old, to be fluent in the Kazakh language (a condition to be observed by the Linguistic Commission, an independent body that should provide its conclusions to the Central Electoral Commission who will make the final decision on candidatures), and to be an officially resident of Kazakhstan for at least 15 years.

The nomination period that had ended on 15 March 2015 had permitted for three candidates to outline their candidature and obtain at least 93,000 valid signatures equally representing at least two-thirds of the regions as well as the cities of Astana and Almaty.

In addition they need to pay an election deposit of 1,060,000 Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) and present tax declarations for themselves and their spouse.

The necessary prescriptions for barring from standing for office for persons related to crimes of found guilty of corruption-related crimes or administrative offences have being taken.

The language test consists of an examination of prospective candidates‟ reading, writing and speaking abilities.

Three candidates will run in the upcoming early presidential elections in Kazakhstan after law provisions: the incumbent President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the challenger from the Communist People’s Party Turgun Syzdykov and self-nominee Abelgazi Kusainov, according to a report from the Central Election Commission.

The time for submission of applications for participation in the presidential election in Kazakhstan ended on March 15.

According to the CEC secretary Bakhyt Meldeshov, as of 2015, March 16, the CEC got 27 applications.

The CEC decided to refuse registration to Limana Koishiyeva, Kanat Turageldiyev, Zharylkap Kalybai and Khasen Kozha-Akhmet, who all successfully passed the Kazakh language but failed to provide all the law required documents.

The CEC also denied registration to six candidates for the presidency of Kazakhstan for failing to appear for the Kazakh language exam which is mandatory under the law): self-nominees Yakobzhan Dzhunisbekov, Kairat Maishev, Aigul Utepova, Kanat Yeszhanov, Amantai Kazhy and Birzhan Dilmagambetov.

Mels Yeleusizov, Zhaksybai Bazilbayev and Mukhamedrakhim Kursabayev withdrew their candidacies on their own, a move the CEC approved.

The registration of candidates came to an end on March 25.

As of 2015 March 26, three candidates have the right to proceed with the election campaigning: Nursultan Nazarbayev, Turgun Syzdykov and Abelgazi Kusainov.

Grupul Parlamentar: PSD

Şedinţa Senatului din data de: 09.03.2015

 

Titlul declaraţiei politice:

Adunarea Popoarelor din Kazahstan – Modelul unităţii  şi armoniei interetnice       

Domnule preşedinte,

Stimaţi colegi,

Membrii Comisiei românilor de pretutindeni din Senatul României, au avut în data de 03 martie, o întrevedere cu E.S domnul Daulet Batrashev, ambasadorul Republicii Kazahstan şi cu o delegaţie a Parlamentului Republicii Kazahstan, condusă de domnul Serik Akylbai, Preşedintele Comisiei de legislaţie constituţională, sistem judiciar şi organe de aplicare a legii din Senatul Republicii Kazahstan.

Discuţiile au vizat tendinţa ascendentă a relaţiilor dintre Kazahstan şi România, precum şi situaţia comunităţii româneşti din Kazahstan, în contextul în care la recensământul din 2010, în Republica Kazahstan, în grupa etnică români/moldoveni s-au înregistrat 21.054 de persoane, din care 594 de persoane s-au declarat români şi 20.460 moldoveni.

După întrevederea cu delegaţia din Republica Kazahstan, am participat la Conferinţa cu tema “Adunarea Poporului din Kazahstan – Modelul unităţii şi armoniei interetnice”, conferinţă organizată în parteneriat cu Camera Deputaţilor, Ambasada Republicii Kazahstan în România şi Institutul de Relaţii Internaţionale şi Cooperare Economică.

Adunarea Poporului din Kazahstan, constituită de către Preşedintele Republicii Kazahstan, este o structură de stat ce apără drepturile tuturor minorităţilor naţionale.

Republica Kazahstan este casă părintească pentru reprezentanţii a 140 de grupuri etnice şi a 17 confesiuni.

De aceea, Instituţia Adunării Popoarelor din Kazahstan este un unic exemplu de consimţământ intercultural, interconfesional şi de asigurare a toleranţei.

Adunarea Popoarelor din Kazahstan reprezintă interesele grupurilor etnice în cadrul organului legislativ superior – Parlamentul, prin nouă deputaţi ai Camerei Inferioare, demonstrând întregii lumi succesul politicii desfăşurate de Kazahstan în domeniul relaţiilor interetnice.

Kazahstanul, stat multicultural şi multietnic, promovează o strategie activă pentru realizarea înţelegerii între naţionalităţi, un adevărat exemplu de co-existenţă religioasă, culturală şi dezvoltare socială.

Anul 2015 marchează 20 de ani de la înfiinţarea Adunării Popoarelor din Kazahstan, modelul kazahstanez de integritate, unitate, pace şi înţelegere reprezentând la ora actuală un model pentru întreaga lume.

Preşedintele Republicii Kazahstan îndeamnă poporul către unitate şi stabilitate: “Înţelegerea dintre persoanele de etnii diferite reprezintă oxigenul vital. Trebuie să avem singuri grijă de unitatea noastră şi de înţelegerea dintre etnii.”. Un discurs din care se pot inspira şi liderii altor ţări, întrunirea poporului kazah devenind un model euroasiatic unic de dialog al culturilor.

Am fost surprins de numărul românilor care trăiesc pe teritoriul Kazahstanului. Majoritatea acestora provin din regiunile istorice româneşti Basarabia şi Bucovina de Nord, astăzi trăind dispersat în regiunile din nordul Kazahstanului, regiuni unde au avut loc deportările şi trimiterile la muncă forţată de către regimul sovietic în perioada celui de-al doilea război mondial.

Românii au fondat câteva sate în nordul Kazahstanului, în care şi în prezent, comunitatea încă mai păstrează limba română şi obiceiurile tradiţionale.

Complet integraţi în viaţa Kazahstanului, românii se bucură de  reprezentare în Adunarea Poporului din Kazahstan, au înfiinţat societăţi culturale româneşti, ce beneficiază de sprijinul statului kazahstanez pentru a-şi păstra specificul naţional, tradiţiile şi limba.

Kazahstanul i-a primit pe românii prigoniţi de regimul sovietic, le-a oferit dreptul la educaţie şi locuri de muncă. Românii pot vorbi liber limba română, îşi pot apăra interesele şi îşi pot păstra nestingheriţi tradiţiile.

Daca punem în discuţie Ungaria, Ucraina sau Serbia, remarcăm faptul că minoritatea română nu beneficiază de drepturile pe care Kazahstanul le garantează minorităţilor sale şi sper ca în viitor, astfel de state să se inspire din modelul kazahstanez de asigurare a armoniei interetnice şi interconfesionale.

Comunitatea românească este una reprezentativă, păstreaza frumoasele noastre tradiţii populare româneşti şi beneficiază de ospitalitatea kazahă.

Închei declaraţia polítică, mulţumind pentru acest sprijin constant acordat minorităţii româneşti din Kazahstan şi apreciez relaţia bilaterală în acest sens ca fiind una exemplară.

Vă mulţumesc!
