Deputy Chairman of the Kurultai

After Kazakhstan gained independence in 1991, the country adopted a new constitutional framework in 1995, establishing the bicameral Parliament of Kazakhstan consisting of the Senate and the Mäjilis.^[1] Each chamber was headed by a chairman of the Senate and Mäjilis and assisted by deputy chairs of the Senate and Mäjilis. This system functioned as the national legislature until its dissolution in 2026,^[2] when a new Constitution came into force following a nationwide referendum.

The first election of the Kurultai has taken place on 23 August 2026. The Kurultai is scheduled to convene and elect its first chair and deputy chair. The office of deputy chair of the Kurultai succeeds the positions of deputy chair of the Senate and deputy chair of the Mäjilis.^[3]

The Kurultai's deputy chairs ensure continuity by substituting for the Chairman of the Kurultai during temporary absences, illness, or incapacity, and by carrying out individual functions and assignments formally delegated by the chairman.^[4][5]
